While government formation talks were underway, Fair Seas wrote to leading parties & groups emphasising the need to include the swift publication of the Marine Protected Areas Bill in the Program for Government. This will be a landmark achievement for the 34th Dáil. #FairSeas

BREAKING: A large number of aid trucks are now entering the Gaza Strip. A bit of relief at long last

Clarity saught regarding a pledge in the #ProgrammeforGovernment to ‘expand Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)’. Publication of the MPA Bill has not specifically been mentioned, though critical to ensuring MPA development happens strategically. #FairSeas fairseas.ie/2025/01/16/men…

Ireland's draft #programmeforgovernment is now published. While it does mention expanding Ireland’s Marine Protected Areas and creating wildlife sanctuaries, more detail is needed 🐳🇮🇪 What's missing? The Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Bill. fairseas.ie/2025/01/16/men… #FairSeas

.Hilary Benn & UK gov need to stop this pathetic charade of needlessly dragging Sean Brown's family through the courts. Stop their appeal immediately, abide by rule of law, grant the public enquiry & let the truth be seen by all. Continued solidarity with Sean Brown's family.

FAIR SEAS CALLS FOR GREATER CLARITY ON GOVERNMENT’S PLEDGE ON MARINE PROTECTED AREAS Fair Seas, has called for greater clarity regarding a pledge in the new Programme for Government to ‘expand Marine Protected Areas (#MPAs)’. fishfocus.co.uk/fair-seas-call…

'Climate cakeism' says Oisín Coghlan Presenting old as new says Dr. Cara Augustenborg Vague & ambiguous say Environmental Pillar & Fair Seas Experts have their say on the climate & environment policies in the draft Programme for Government m.independent.ie/irish-news/car…

Pity Peter Harte’s day should end like that, his second half performance was incredible

Hard luck Errigal. That was an incredible second-half fightback.

Keynote speaker Donal Griffin, Fair Seas, starts day 2 of our #BlueHorizons2025 conference. With a background in marine biology, Donal has a wealth of policy experience, including coordinating a coalition of environmental NGOs focusing on Marine Protected Area implementation.

Absolutely fantastic #BlueHorizons conference hosted by Ulster Wildlife over the last few days. I was honoured to give a keynote talk on behalf of Fair Seas "Ireland's Fair Seas: On our way to 30% MPAs by 2030?" and highlight causes for #OceanOptimism north & south 🌊🙌

Ironically the transition of power from Biden to Trump was a lot more peaceful than the transition of power from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to... Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

When the roll-call of courage eventually takes place, Michael D. will be the first Irish name called out. My nationality doesn't usually mean much to me – it's a pure accident of birth, unlike humanity. But this man makes me so proud to be Irish in this world.

Congratulations to Christopher O’Sullivan TD, avid bird & whale watcher, on your appointment to the vital role of '#Minister of State for Nature & Heritage'. We look forward to working with you and seeing the publication of the long-awaited Marine Protected Areas Bill 🐳🦅 #FairSeas

We are also excited to have Donal Griffin, NCAFP 2024 #NorthernIreland Emerging Leader, marine biologist, Campaign Coordinator Fair Seas & Co-coordinator @baskingirish, join our #ClimateChange & #Sustainability discussion! Get tickets: bit.ly/3WdWdSF

Aiden Gallagher was 21 when he was murdered in the Omagh bomb. His father Michael Gallagher has campaigned for two decades for justice. Today he told the inquiry on the day of his son's funeral he was told by the Bishop there were 16 other funerals that day. All victims of Omagh.

Irish environment groups condemn EU cash row as defunding attempt by right-wing MEPs - The campaign “is a barely concealed attempt to undermine the work of environmental NGOs and attack on democracy” irishtimes.com/world/europe/2…

When I joined, Twitter was invaluable for my career. Post EM though, for reasons you can probably guess, I'm out. If you like, find me on bsky, but maybe (hopefully) less so, as I more often go out & touch grass or even better, get in the sea. donalgriffin9.bsky.social Slán
