A lovely canvass this evening! Thanks so much to everyone who opened their doors to us this evening - we had a little over 60 conversations across Inchicore - followed by some lovely pints.

Transparency in politics is important. That's why I keep a specific page which goes into detail on things like my income, expenses, assets, donations, memberships and lobbying that I get. Take a look at: pidgeon.ie/transparency
How do we tackle congestion in Dublin? I basically said "better public transport" fifty times over when discussing this question on @newstalkfm.bsky.social's Hard Shoulder earlier today. www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...
This is an abhorrent decision. Rooted in a total ignorance of the conditions faced in these old inner-city flat complexes. I'm just out of a meeting with Oliver Bond residents and there's a real sense of hopelessness. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...
I spoke to RTÉ's @mcculld.bsky.social this morning about why an inheritance tax cut for the already-wealthy is a bad idea. Is this the only screengrab of my face I could get? Sadly yes. You can listen back on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6bOq... Or on RTÉ: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
Insurance in Ireland is a rip off. But it doesn't have to be that way. The Greens have just launched our 35-page plan to grind down insurance costs - you can read it here: greenparty.ie/news/green-p...
What a wildly stupid idea. Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes. That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.
