The “perk” of free parking in the grounds of Leinster House must be brought to an end, starting with all former TDs …
Get Them Out! 🚗🚙 The government owns 9,479 parking spaces, with 3,291 of these located in traffic-congested Dublin. Notably, all past (400 ex-TDs) and present members of Dáil Éireann receive a free parking space for life, yes for life. #Dublin #Ireland #ClimateActionNow

The UN independent international fact-finding mission for Sudan published findings today: They found reasonable grounds to believe the RSF & allied militias committed war crime AND crimes against humanity including murder, torture and rape on the basis of ethnicity & gender.

Great news that the Council is pushing ahead with the city centre transport plan! A relatively modest change is coming to the quays in 4 weeks time that will help reduce private cars cutting through the city centre. Listen back to my thoughts here on RTÉ:

Good news on the Dublin City Transport Plan, between 7am and 7pm just 2% of movements are by private car on that section of the quays. Plans to restrict traffic in Dublin city to go ahead https://t.co/LS42hYILHU via @rte

Delighted to get Cabinet approval for an important new law that will allow women who get seriously ill while on their maternity leave to suspend that leave for a full year.

The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan will go ahead. The first measures — bus gates on the quays — will start in four weeks. Big thanks to everyone who helped get this across the line.
Hundreds of people showed up at this evening's Council Meeting to call for the Dublin City Centre Transport Plan to be implemented as agreed. No delays, no watering down to appease car park lobbies.

Great to see a new record of nearly 300 million passengers travelled on Irish Rail, Bus Éireann or Dublin Bus services last year. It's clear that public transport services are improved, people will use them. Now to implement the DCC & GDA transport plans! https://t.co/6yk6WqX3Gk

I'm reading this report now, and it's the kind of thing that gives "work for hire" a bad name. The figures below are calculated from two basic inputs...
New traders report says Dublin City Transport Plan would reduce retail spend in City Centre by €141m in 2028 and lead to reductions in gross value added of €87m, in retail jobs of 1787, in wages of €94m and in State taxes of €18m. https://t.co/j8MKD9nh6F

Excellent discussion last night. @neasa_neasa clearly showing her depth of knowledge of party policy, workings of Government and vision for the future. All communicated in her usual clear manner. Neasa has my vote for Deputy Leader.

@EamonRyan is right to highlight this significant milestone on the road to decarbonising Ireland’s economy. It simply wouldn’t have happened without @greenparty_ie being in government…
As a country, Ireland reduced carbon emissions by 6.8% in 2023. Our emissions are the lowest they’ve been in 30 years. Impressive when you take into consideration our growing population and economy. Irish people do care about the climate. #KeepGoingGreen

In 2019, I met @neasa_neasa and @JanetPHorner for the first time at the barricades we placed outside Brown Thomas car park to make South William Street car-free for a day. Yesterday, we were among a large crowd led by an amazing group of activists from so many organisations.
