The first question for Artificial Intelligence should be, can you run the Large Language Models, without us having to burn any more gas? https://t.co/hm5KDzskyp

Good to see the EU Commission has today published its Affordable Housing Plan, which was influenced by the work we have been doing on the Housing Advisory Board. We can start to build from here!

If we are going to deliver better infrastructure, then the department responsible for public service reform, must first and foremost be willing to reform itself. https://t.co/7UD0VhqQ3r

Great news!

I was glad to do this interview with Sean O’Rourke for #OireachtasTv on my life in politics:

Mitigate Currency Risk with ADRhedged

I’m very proud that our European Housing Advisory Board delivered our report today, with seventy five recommendations on how we can address the Housing crisis across Europe. You can find the report and recommendations via this link: #AffordableHousingPlan https://t.co/U68LyVvyOq

I’ve seen @Paschald work for over 20 years now and the great service he has given to Dublin Central, our Country and the European Union. He will be missed in Irish politics but will be a great addition to the @WorldBank and the vital work they do in global development.

No matter how bleak the political environment may be, we don’t have the luxury of giving up on climate change. It’s the army of officials, campaigners, entrepreneurs, scientists, financiers & scholars who have to hold the front line! #COP30 #ActionAgenda https://t.co/sjtvXBTGtY

Lorna Gold and ⁦@Janemellett⁩ of the #LaudatoSi movement brought a blue ‘River of Hope’ all the way from Maynooth to Belem, to create what was one of the best protests inside the conference centre at #COP30. #RaisingHope

I was proud to see so much Irish leadership at #COP30. ⁦@ValerieMHickey⁩ is global director of climate change at the World Bank. They are starting to do really good work funding a transition which improves local economies and builds collaborative financing solutions.

I have been at #COP30 with the @CCACoalition where we advanced a new approach to drastically reduce methane emissions in the global fossil fuel sector . #ActionAgenda #EmergencyBrake #SuperPollutant

As #COP30 begins I was glad to contribute to this short film from the Grantham Institute, telling the story of how a #LossAndDamage fund was agreed three years ago. It’d give you some hope we can still reach agreement in these tough times. #ClimateJustice

I took part in the first Global Ethical Stock Take earlier this summer, in preparation for #COP30 in Brazil. I argued what we need is a new wave of climate thinking, lead by our artists, philosophers and theologians. #mutirão #meithal #IntoTheMystic

‘They’re behaving like gangsters’: Will the rest of the world stand up to the US at Cop30?’ #COP30 #ClimateChange #SuperPollutants #Methane

I did this podcast with Niall Leahy SJ, looking back on the recent Raising Hope Climate Conference in Castel Gondolfo organised by @LaudatoSiMvmt. #LaudatoSi #RaisingHope

Irena CEO on target of tripling renewables by 2030: ‘This is the first time I think we can do it. No one can stop the transition to renewables. The 750 GW of new renewable power expected this year is twice the nuclear capacity built over the last 70 years’

We need a respectful and informed debate about how we can restore nature in Ireland. That should start with the publication of the land use review, which was completed early this year. #NatureRestoration #Rewilding https://t.co/dGNHOwz9xH

I was privileged to meet Manchan again a few weeks ago on Killiney beach and to hear his wonderful interview on @RadioBrendanRTE . He was a visionary about our relationship with the environment and our first language. He will be sorely missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilis.

Pope Leo opened the #RaisingHope conference yesterday with this call: ‘Citizens need to take an active role in political decision-making at national, regional and local levels. Only then will it be possible to mitigate the damage done to the environment.’ #Laudatosi
