No fracking way! Ireland's new leader @MichealMartinTD is on the verge of selling out Ireland to Trump & allowing a disastrous LNG terminal to import US fracked gas. The same terminal the last gov't found was not needed! Please - listen to these scientists & say no to LNG! 🧵

Our @ucddublin @UCDEnvPolicy MSc students made the @farmersjournal today for their research on storm resilience in forestry, based on their work in my project-based learning module last Spring. https://t.co/4T3VoiP9YS

I enjoyed this conversation on #GE24 for @thejournal_ie The Explainer podcast

Most of our Class of '24 @UCDEnvPolicy MSc students got back to @ucddublin for graduation today. It was wonderful to hear of all their success & adventures since they left us last summer!Wishing this class best of luck in their career pursuits. The sky is the limit!

This is a considered analysis of the fate of climate action policies by @CAugustenborg post GE. I can attest to the commitment of @labour in its manifesto that climate action will be a core mission for the party whether in government or in opposition.

"Climate action is no longer the burden of one party — it is a shared responsibility that must transcend election cycles." - My take on #GE24 in today's @IrishExaminer https://t.co/fwdSHX6zPO

@stevensgreen1 @noonan_malcolm @EamonRyan @greenparty_ie Whatever the outcome of today, @greenparty_ie TDs should be proud of their 5 years of service to our country. I just pray other parties will be as hard working and diligent when it comes to climate & environment in next G'ment. 5/5 #GE2024 #GE24

@stevensgreen1 @noonan_malcolm @EamonRyan @greenparty_ie You can criticise their manifesto (I have); their election campaign; etc. But ultimately, I think the @greenparty_ie downfall is simply due to putting all their time into things that will massively benefit us in the future, though they may not be obvious now. 4/5

@stevensgreen1 @noonan_malcolm @EamonRyan - @greenparty_ie TDs punched well above their weight while in G'ment IMHO. It was a noble act to prioritise time in G'ment above advancing their own success thereafter, but I believe it's the primary reason they are having such a bad today. 3/x

I would agree. Whether it was @stevensgreen1 tireless work on Planning Law; @noonan_malcolm's phenomenal intervention on EU #NatureRestorationLaw; or @EamonRyan's transformation of Dept of Transport to prioritise active/public infrastructure, among other things 🧵2/x

My take on a terrible day for #GreenParty in #GE24: A Fianna Fail TD once told me he "love(d) working with @greenparty_ie because they were like Kamikaze politicians" -i.e. They knew the would not survive next election so they killed themselves to get as much done as possible. 🧵

Fully onboard with this idea. Single booklet, one page per cand. At least would eliminate the Litir.

Of course I meant "eiliminate" ;-)

Alll the #GE2024 lit that came through my door this wk seems excessive & unfair to me, rewarding those w/ big budgets over other candidates. Any hope Election Commission will mandate voter's guides like in US counties? It would also elimonate need for posters... @ArtOLeary

@foeireland @MichealMartinTD And here's the 2024 Report Card of Government if you want to look at past performance in advance of #GE2024 https://t.co/n8UNU3KBiN

@foeireland @MichealMartinTD Here's our #GE2024 manifesto analysis ICYMI

@foeireland Programme for Faster & Fairer Climate Action. The analysis DIDN'T include performance in G'ment or opposition. Having been involved in the annual Report Card of G'ment, I would agree with @MichealMartinTD that past performance also matters. 2/2

It was great to see @rte #leadersdebate kick off climate question with @UCDEarth @foeireland #GE2024 manifesto analysis (linked below). One point in response to @MichealMartinTD's answer - Our analysis only looked at what was in manfestos against FoE's 111 demands in their... 1/2
