I bumped into an old college pal last year in Skerries when I was out there for a family thing She'd moved to Barcelona, had a beautiful fella, everything perfect. And a baby! Which was why she was in Ireland, it was 40°+ in Barcelona, she'd only been able to take the kid outside after it was dark

A sobering read from Conor Dowling here. Glad his family were able to leave and stay safe. Extreme heat and climate breakdown is the new normal but it shouldn't be this way. Children deserve a fun summer holiday! But even more importantly they deserve a liveable climate for their future!

The gov are proposing a new derelict property tax. But big loopholes remain: - an inadequate definition - lack of inspection resources - focus on appearance and not use - laneway and off-street front dereliction ignored I'll be on with David McCullagh shortly to discuss www.rte.ie/news/2026/06...

Works on the Dublin Port Greenway are starting soon 😀. Meaning that the footpath and cycle lane on East Wall Road will be closed til early 2027 😩. Below is the suggested alternative route for cycling to reach the quays that involves turning down Sherriff St and North Wall Ave. 🚴

Yesterday was both Africa Day and the anniversary of Repeal. So it felt serendipitous to go to the launch of Rebecca Keogh's powerful artwork CU(N)T about FGM and reproductive rights, then run into Ifrah Ahmed at Oxfam's Africa Day, who led the campaign to make FGM illegal in Ireland.

It was a wet weekend, but Janet Horner's supporters came out in great numbers to go canvassing with her because she would make such an excellent TD for Dublin Central. Give her your number 1 vote on May 22nd! @janetphorner.bsky.social

many who have been out canvassing in Dublin Central now see the Green Party councillor Janet Horner as a dark horse. "Janet's name is coming up more and more on the doors," one person from another party said. @janetphorner.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

The Liffey is an icon of Dublin, but it’s also a dividing line. It divides the north from the south. There’s politicians in this election who want to further that division. But I don’t think that’s what we are about. When you’re on the Liffey you can see clearly that we are one city and one river.

👇worth noting if the government wants progress and not just distraction!

Ireland's future energy security lies in cheap & clean renewables. The Gov must focus on grants and state-led interventions at scale to get solar on every roof top and balcony and harness the wind around our coastline. Not drum up debate on red herring projects. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

V good article: "The reason our European peers have seen a 12 per cent drop in road deaths since 2019 in the same time we have seen a 31 per cent rise in ours is because we simply are not using the evidence-based solutions that already exist." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Where is Dublin's promised orbital "O" bus route? While we have the buses, it seems the Government is not providing the funding for the proposed O Spine, which will run orbitally around the North and South Circular Roads. I couldn't get an answer from the Ministers today either for a rollout date

This cannot be shouted loudly enough. Far-right, anti-immigration, misogynistic and bigoted rhetoric is VERY loud online but it doesn't represent the majority of people or communities. But it is corrosive and we need to guard against it.
