Today I questioned the Taoiseach on the Tánaiste's recent remarks that further energy supports would be forthcoming, in particular for heat pumps and electric vehicles. The Taoiseach didn't respond to the question at all, instead reeling off a list of supports already in place. (1/2)

The energy crisis IS the climate crisis. And we have a Government that is ignoring its climate commitments, at the long term expense of all of us. Show your support for our Earth Day Motion, demanding that the Govt recommit to its 2030 climate targets and steer us away from fossil fuel dependency
Further delays on the rollout of BusConnects - here's an update about the long-awaited Blanchardstown - Dublin Airport route. The deprioritising of public transport by this Govt is having a knock-on effect on the delivery of promised bus routes all over the country - just when we need them most.
Today I am voting no confidence in the Government. They have not only failed in their reactions last week, but are now failing to lead us away from our fossil fuel dependence. Until we break this addiction, Irish families and businesses will all be at the mercy of the whims of Putin, Trump...
Where is Dublin's promised orbital "O" bus route? While we have the buses, it seems the Government is not providing the funding for the proposed O Spine, which will run orbitally around the North and South Circular Roads. I couldn't get an answer from the Ministers today either for a rollout date
Big claims, but a weak case presented by the airlines this week on the Dublin Airport passenger cap. EU legal opinion is that the passenger cap is likely lawful. The “Open Skies” argument is untested and unproven. What sounds convincing… isn’t holding up in court.
Another win for the car lobby this week in Brussels, as more of the Green deal is watered down. The only winners here will be Chinese EV manufacturers who will now come in to fill the gap left by these European companies.
IrishRail is to be commended for the extra services they have put on for big events recently - I think it shows that there is an appetite for intercity services beyond 8/9pm and later services on commuter routes too. Here's their response on whether these later services could be made permanent
🌳ASHTOWN GATE JUNCTION Update BusConnects will eventually deliver a permanent redesign for this junction, which is at the crossroads of 3 jurisdictions; Fingal County Council, Dublin City Council and the OPW (1/2)

Quite a bizarre situation with RTI monitors being disconnected - I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. Are there any more you have seen that are out of action?
Days before Memorial Day, Trump waved off the 13 Americans lost in his war of choice with Iran—"somebody else would have lost 100,000 people"—reducing 13 grieving families to a talking point.
Deputy Presidential Office head Pavlo Palisa said Russia made manning its unmanned systems troops a priority this year but effectively failed the Q1 recruitment campaign. He said Moscow targeted technical students and graduates, but young Russians are not rushing into the army. #Russia
13 Americans killed in action. Hundreds wounded. Thousands of civilians dead. The regime in Tehran? Still intact. @ossoff.senate.gov on Trump’s war in Iran: “A huge self-inflicted wound.”
Video 1: Peskov says there's no risk of fuel disruptions in Russia despite drone attacks. He says there might be some "seasonal preventative maintenance", whatever that means. Video 2: a resident of Russian-occupied Crimea shows that there's no fuel available at a gas stop⤵️

Sharing a video clip of our reminder yesterday to the Church that it must act and speak up more powerfully on climate change. We were at Westminster Abbey, but our Pentecost message is for the whole Church. The lives of all humanity and all Creation should be a matter of our deepest concern.

E. Jean Carroll beat Trump twice. Won $83.3M. So now his henchmen at the DOJ are coming for her. The same department shielding the powerful is targeting the survivor who refused to stay silent. It’s a threat. Call it out. It’s disgraceful.

No paycheck all summer long. That's the reality for thousands of paraprofessionals and school-related personnel, and it takes a toll. PSRPs do essential work, but face unnecessary instability during academic breaks.

This is the kind of leadership we need. Not symbolic statements. Not empty outrage. Real legislation that protects our communities.
