Industrial scale trawling threatens the complete collapse of sprat populations on which the incredibly rich marine ecosystem of Bantry Bay depends. SAVE OUR SPRAT is campaigning for a moratorium on all such activity until the species recovers. Please join or support us!! www.saveoursprat.ie

Proud to attend the official launch of the EU Mission City label today — with my colleague and Lord Mayor, Dan Boyle, an Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, and community and industry representatives. It's those representatives who will lead the city's response to the climate emergency. 👏👏
