I'm really looking forward to this public meeting in Marino this evening.

Catherine Stocker & Sinéad Gibney have put together a fascination lineup of speakers & topics.

A Playful City & Irish Cycling Campaign will be on hand to discuss how we can make Dublin a more enjoyable and livable city.

Eamon Ryan's decision to intervene in the Swiss Climate case is completely at odds with Climate action, and could have undermined efforts to hold Govts to account for failures in meeting targets. independent.ie/irish-news/gre…

Contrast the treatment here of a young woman - the Chair of UCD Students' Union representing the views of the student body - with the softly softly approach to far right 'protestors' who are allowed to harass and intimidate.
Definitely two different policing styles in action in this state.

Martha Ní Riada University College Dublin UCD Students' Union Throwing the president of the SU out of a meeting because she objects to genocide is really not a great look for University College Dublin

This is a disgusting use of force against a person who posed no physical threat to anyone. University College Dublin should be ashamed of themselves for this behaviour.

A generation is facing the choice between a lifetime of exorbitant rents or emigration.

Meanwhile this Government regularly votes down practical solutions to address the housing crisis.

'Don't let the door hit you on the way out' seems to be the message.

Very glad to see this scrapped. Well done to the #ScrapTheGreenPaper campaign and everyone who pushed back.

At the FG Ard Fheis, the Taoiseach announced a Dublin City taskforce, something Gary Gannon TD has repeatedly called for

But nobody else in govt seems to know anything about it

Dublin needs more than platitudes and vague commitments

It needs a definitive plan - and resources

and kindness in response, not overpriced private solutions, political leaders talking outside both sides of their mouth, and pitting vulnerable groups against each other.
We're witnessing a decades-long embarrassment, a weak political response to a complex problem. 3/4

choice. It is a sinister (and failed) attempt to deter people from coming to Ireland, using vulnerable humans as political pawns to mask an ongoing failure.
War, genocide, famine, climate crisis - these are the drivers for current global movement. People deserve humanity...2/4

Another storm, another weekend of bussing homeless asylum seekers out of a city encampment to a marginally better solution a little further away. This, and other failures of the government's decades long omnishambles response to international protection, is a political...1/4

(1) It can take years for the Council to take responsibility for public spaces in newer housing developments.

This can cause serious problems when it comes to the maintenance of roads, paths, public lighting and open spaces.

The Prohibition of Incitement To Hatred Act 1989 has been on the statute books for 35 years without a definition of hatred. This Bill just updates that old Act. The outrage is manufactured and too many TDs are falling for it.

Throwing a brick with “faggots out” written on it through the window of Pantibar with customers inside should be a hate crime. Scrawling “pedobar” on its walls should be a hate crime. Attacking LGBTI+ people in the street screaming slurs should be a hate crime. Burning…
