Across the country every year, parents of children with additional needs face a scramble for school places and supports, sometimes needing to submit multiple applications to different schools and only securing a place well into the summertime.

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.

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.

Some welcome news for residents in the Kilmartin area - new shops and amenities are close to being finished in the Kilmartin Local Centre development. More apts. will also be delivered here alongside the Kilmartin Town Centre development across the road, with a new creche being delivered here too.

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 "do-nothing" Government strikes again - with a simple amendment to the Dublin Transport Authority Bill, which would allow the NTA to deliver BusConnects in our regional cities, taking months to progress.

Drone technologies are moving fast - and legislation needs to keep pace 🚁 My bill to regulate commercial drone activity will this week advance to second stage in the Dáil. The Bill sets out clear rules on planning permission and noise complaints as drones become more common in our skies.

Minister O'Brien has committed to introducing the Blanchardstown - Dublin Airport bus before the end of the year. This route has already been pushed back several times - now we need to make sure that this timeline is adhered to.

🌳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)

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

Trump trash talks a reporter who asks why--with high gas prices & hardships placed on the backs of Americans due to irresponsible war--he thinks spending billions on structures honoring himself is appropriate? Americans do need to take out the trash! #impeachtrump #dumptrump #resist #standup #trash

The key word is COULD. Billionaires COULD do so much for humanity, but they're not, due to their mental illness called billionaire-ism. Thanks to @lucasaferrara for having me on Shake it Off Live on AM970#TheyCouldBeSaviors #ClimateFiction #VisionaryFiction #FictionForChange #ReadMoreBooks

He’s not declassifying UAP files because he believes in transparency. He’s doing it because “It’s literally trending number one. Can you believe it?” That’s the metric now. Not policy outcomes. Not constitutional duty. Trending.
