The government have watered down their plans again, this time to appease Michael Healy-Rae. We don't need a national policy on short-term lets, but we do need to give local authorities the ability to enforce planning regulations.

No Farmers, No Food? We import most of what we eat in Ireland, and the tillage sector is at the point of collapse. Are we serious about food security, or will we become a country that produces only beef and dairy - and animal feed?

The public consultation on the Chapelizod bike lane has closed, and a report will be out over the summer addressing the submissions. The EU Presidency means work can't start this year, but the plan is to tender for the works this year, and start early in 2027.
I've been out knocking on doors with the amazing @janetphorner.bsky.social I already knew how effective she is in the council chamber, and I've come to see how hard she works for her constituency. She would make a brilliant representative for Dublin Central!
One of the main risks in the Kylemore project is that inadequate public transport provision would cause major traffic congestion, and send more cars down streets that couldn't cope. In the second part of my speech on Thursday, I talked about the need for Dart South West to be funded immediately...

I asked the Parks department to plant some more trees on the green spaces in Walkinstown. It's been slow work because of the rain, but good progress made and more to come!
More and more people are cycling regularly in Dublin. And people would like to cycle more - but they want to be safe, on cycle lanes that are separated from traffic.
This is not a solution to the housing crisis. But it does show where this government's sympathies lie - with landlords, not with tenants.
Had a great time at the groundbreaking of the Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve’s Heart’s Delight Trail improvement project. I was proud to secure an $800,000 grant for this project in 2024 and it’s outstanding to see those federal dollars in action helping build a more accessible trail.

That's an odd way of admitting that you were wrong about the firearm crossing state lines. Also, you failed to prove your "provoking" claim. When Rosenbaum suddenly attacked & chased Kyle he was en route to extinguish a car fire. How are you justifying the unprovoked attack by Rosenbaum? ⬇️
Brooke Rollins claims that beef prices are high because MAHA is causing people to eat more beef. Apparently, she doesn't see the connection between the Iran war, the high cost of oil and the subsequent high cost of all goods and services.
Remember when we had a POTUS who considered himself president to ALL the people, even if they disagreed with him, and didn't call them names, or tell people to 'beat the hell out of them' - who was actually presidential?! Good times...

Didn’t get any thunderstorms here, but I saw lightning in the distance. The development of them was interesting, imagine being a meteorologist tasked with trying to predict where they would develop and when. Some places get half an inch of rain, other places get nothing. It’s a mugs game, innit?

Vape shops need to be licensed and better controlled. This #NoSmokingDay I’m calling for more action to tackle vaping. @scottishgreens.org have been clear when it comes to vapes. The Scottish Government must introduce a robust licensing scheme!
