BIG news in the fight for Dublin 8 pitches! We've just seen the initial planning documents for a fullsize pitch at Donore Avenue. Our local committee will get a presentation on Wed 17th with full planning lodged the next week. Plenty of road left to travel, but this is great, great news!

Irish households are effectively paying €360 extra a year on electricity bills to subsidise data centres, according to a new Friends of the Earth report. We need a moratorium on data centres and real transparency on their impact. @hazelchu.bsky.social

Ring Road approved, but Galway deserves more than just another road, says Greens’ Murphy | Green PartyResponding to the decision of An Comisiún Pleanala (ACP) to grant permission to the Galway ring road, Niall Murphy, Green Party candidate for Galway West, said: “Today, the Galway City Ring Road has been granted permission. Clarity has been given on this project, but Galway deserves more than just a ring road. “The most important thing to do now is to start pushing forward the other transport projects which have been delayed by the Government as the ring road planning process has been ongoing.greenparty.ie

It was good to catch up with Palestinian Ambassador Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid again today in Leinster House. We were briefed on the latest ongoings in Palestine and reaffirmed our support for sanctions and the Occupied Territories Bill. #Ireland #Palestine #Solidarity #SanctionsNow #SpéirGorm

The Critical Infrastructure Bill means that projects that definitely will have a climate impact; big energy projects like liquefied natural gas and electricity sucking data centres, these projects will no longer have their climate impact assessed when they're going for planning permission.

Was the visit to the White House worthwhile? I'm not convinced - yesterday's event has shown that the shamrock ceremony has become a charade where the main aim is appeasement, rather than diplomacy.

I supported the motion this month at Cork city council calling on Government to end discrimination in inheritance tax against childless citizens, single people and their families. Everyone deserves fairness. Our laws must reflect that. It’s time for change.
