There’s a weather warning for high temperatures this week, the sun is shining bright and people are out enjoying the nice weather after weeks of rain and clouds. But in this weather we need to be protecting our skin with sun cream.

Proof that there’s a lack of seating on O’Connell street?
We can’t allow horrific and tragic incidents to continue to be used as an excuse by the far right and bad actors to cause violence and destruction in our cities, we’ve seen it in Dublin, we’ve seen it in Liverpool, and we’ve seen it across the past three years in Belfast.
Funny how much can change in just one month? The Socdems have completely changed their tune on the Critical Infrastructure Bill and the damaging impact it will have on our climate. Here are some of them speaking out against this bill last month, before voting it through yesterday.
Why am I running for the Dáil? It’s because I want to deliver a better Dublin. I want to deliver a Dublin where people can afford to rent or buy a house, a Dublin where our communities aren’t divided by social class.
There is something very bleak about the threat of annihilation of an entire country filtered disproportionately through the lens of the cost of petrol and diesel. The energy crisis is real and serious but so is the threat to our shared humanity. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

What a great Sunday morning! It’s sunny, we’re up in the polls, @hazelchu.bsky.social is on Brendan O’Connor’s panel @rteradio1.bsky.social at 11, and @irishindosport.bsky.social has a brilliant interview with @janetphorner.bsky.social
Hi, I’m Janet and I’m running to be your next TD for Dublin Central. Part of that means introducing myself on as many doors as possible, but it’s not something I usually do online, so bear with me while I get used to this!
Taoiseach Michéal Martin has unfortunately accepted an invitation from Donald Trump to visit The White House for St. Patrick’s Day. #Ireland #USA #StPatricksDay #Trump #Politics
We are sickened by the reports yesterday in The Guardian that a private jet owned by one of Donald Trump’s friends was not only used to deport Palestinians back to the occupied West Bank but that this jet was allowed to fuel in Shannon Airport.
The Greens have selected Cllr Janet Horner to contest the Dublin Central by-election
It's not acceptable that the only way to get live updates on public transport is by having an account on X which is now under investigation for CSAM. TFI and Irish Rail need to start providing accessible and reliable updates on their own platforms instead of relying on X. #SpeirGorm
Ourselves, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @galwaycommuters.bsky.social, & Cork Commuter Coalition wrote to Iarnród Éireann & the NTA today, asking them to cease posting real-time service updates exclusively on X. This vital info should be widely available. Read below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
But it won't be. The draft strategy has been with Seán Canney for 9 months. Even if it's approved soon, there's nothing to suggest that it won't be implemented at the same glacial pace. Meanwhile, they've cancelled the pilot which was supposed to deliver cameras last year.

The Green Party condemns the unilateral and illegal action of the U.S. in attacking Venezuela. The most pressing humanitarian issue is the welfare of people in Venezuela and to protect against violence and unrest in the country in response to the actions of the U.S.
190 lives lost on Irish roads in 2025, and a government that are choosing to do something worse than nothing. They are abandoning road safety interventions planned by the previous government.

🇵🇸No more delay on the Occupied Territories Bill I was proud to stand today with other Leaders of Opposition Parties and Senator @francesblack1 to call on the Government to progress the Occupied Territories Bill. It has been a year since FF and FG campaigned on this during the general election(1/2)
This Wednesday, the united left opposition will bring a joint motion for the government to stop delaying the Occupied Territories Bill, and to finally pass it WITH services included. @rodericogorman.bsky.social @greenpartyie.bsky.social
Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Everyone has been affected, or knows someone who has been effected, by accidents on our roads. Sadly, the number of deaths on Irish roads has been rising for the past number of years.

To President Michael D. Higgins, on your last day as President of Ireland, we say thank you for your service. #Ireland #Politics #President
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly who has been elected the 10th President of Ireland. We were delighted to support this campaign over the last month and her landslide win is proof of the value of a positive, united campaign. #Aras25 #PresidentConnolly #Politics #Ireland #Election
Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president. She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n
Micheál Martin raises the white flag on achieving our climate targets 🏳️ A Government with no leadership, no ambition and no ideas.
