I’m proud to be chairing our first in person meeting of the European Affordable Housing Advisory Board in Brussels today. We’ve been asked by the EU Commission to come up with ambitious recommendations, to help provide housing solutions that improve the quality of all our lives.

There can be no negotiating with the Trump administration when it comes to their assault on international climate cooperation. This battle has to start with a resolute defence of the good work being done by the ⁦@IEA.⁩

We’ve shown with the motorways, luas, national broadband plan and electricity interconnectors that we can build big complex projects in Ireland on time and budget. Michael O’Leary’s derision about our ability to do the same with Metrolink serves no one.

Talking about birth rates, migration and population patterns is contentious as we all know. We need to start by having a respectful and rational debate, which accurately reflects what is happening in the world.

How will we meet our public and private retrofitting targets now that funding has been cut and how will we introduce a Nature Restoration plan, when no funding at all is being provided via the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund?.

Recent cases at home and abroad would give you some hope that our courts are starting to recognise our rights to a stable natural world.

There were a lot of different sessions going on in the ‘The blondes’ pub in Milltown Malbay at the same time. Around the house, out in the yard and back in the kitchen. #WillyClancyWeek is one Ireland’s largest summer schools & must be one of the best folk festivals in the world

I wanting to go to #WillyClancy week for years & finally made it yesterday, joining a set dancing class & Céilí last night. 2000 students of all ages & abilities with no competition or commercialisation, just a big voluntary, community effort. MassiveCrack

Well done @Paschald A great honour to be elected as head of the Eurogroup for a third time.

I can see a future court asking a simple question. Why when we knew what had to be done, and we had the finances and analysis in place, we still decided to shirk our responsibility? In such circumstances, I don’t believe we would have a credible defence.

I’ve been asked to chair the new European Commission Housing Advisory Board. Our job is to recommend concise and practical actions that can be included in the Affordable Housing Plan the Commission will introduce next year.

I’m glad to have taken on a role as a high level advocate for the It’s a partnership of Governments & NGOs convened by ⁦@UNEP⁩ to work on cutting the short lived ‘Super Pollutant’ greenhouses gases which harm our health as well as heating our world.

The global ethical stocktake held in London today could be a first step in stopping the climate cultural wars which threaten all our futures.

On @radiokerry this morning with Jerry O’Sullivan talking about a better solution to the floating LNG storage facility.

Caught in the middle of a political battle, @BlackRock reaffirmed its focus is helping millions of Americans save for retirement. They warned that injecting politics from either side risks undermining financial performance.

We can better meet our energy security needs with interconnection, back up generation & battery storage, rather than relying on LNG. Our Just Transition Commission & Climate Advisory Council should conduct a public consultation looking at both options.

The latest ⁦@EPAIreland⁩ projections raise real alarm about the need for more climate action but some of the data could also give you hope. As this table shows in the last 5 years we came close to meeting our targets. Change is possible once you’ve the right political will.

Sea temperatures off the west coast of Ireland are again going beyond anything we have ever seen before. Climate change is happening faster than most models predicted. We need to #CoolTheOceans by urgently stopping polluting our atmosphere.

It’s time to be more targeted in allocating active travel fundings. Those councils willing to build with ambition, speed and low-cost solutions should get most of the funding. Those who don’t should be asked to come up with more ambitious plans. #greenway.

We have to stop burning fossil fuels. They are the reason our electricity is so expensive and as the UN Secretary General @antonioguterres said recently the road away from ‘Climate Hell’ will be paved by renewables.

“We’re building advanced American manufacturing for solar and storage. Partnering with @PalantirTech allows us to quickly and effectively build a supply chain that creates U.S. jobs and stays ahead of the changing legislative landscape,” says T1 Chairman & CEO @_danielbarcelo.
