Busy weekend at the @europeangreens #Lisbon Congress. Three Irish candidates for EU positions, five resolutions and green leaders and members from across the continent sharing ideas.

This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads. The exact opposite direction we should be going. (Plus: the more you delay projects, the more they cost. Every time.)

Look at those weekend dips, followed by a huge fall at the end of the school year. I guess OpenAI is mainly a school cheating/learning tool.

Tonight the Greens are ending a bad tax cut in Dublin City Council. We want to invest instead. We'll be raising money to insulate social housing, bring derelict properties into use, offer pprenticeships, and build zebra crossings. Fixing Dublin = Investing in Dublin

Important: in an options paper prepared for Foreign Ministers, the EU has recognised - to my mind for the first time ever - that an individual EU MS (🇮🇪) may ban trade with Israel’s illegal settlements under the “public policy” derogation in EU law. @tconnellyRTE @jackpowerIT

A sad day for democracy in the European Parliament. The EPP just broke the cordon sanitaire, forming a coalition with the extreme right to commit a coup, allocating two migration laws. This is a new low: sacrificing human rights and the rule of law for political games.

Green Party leader @rodericogorman joined RTÉ's Morning Ireland to discuss his attendance at the banned Budapest Pride this weekend. We are proud to stand in solidarity with the LBGTQ+ community when their rights are under attack by far-right regimes across the globe.

Sean O'Driscoll's comments on public transport investment are not compatible with his membership of the new Infrastructure Taskforce. We are left with the question of whether his continued membership of this taskforce is tenable. @rodericogorman https://t.co/TTPN91lDG7

Retrofitting your home will save you money. It's ludicrous that Clive & Samantha Ryan had to apply for planning permission to retrofit. We're calling for: 1. an exemption on planning permission to retrofit homes 2. specific grants to encourage neighbours to retrofit together
