Our day ended as ⁦Grace O'Sullivan MEP⁩ set sail from the port of Cork, with canvassing stops planned along the coast. She’s the bravest of environmentalist, whether taking on daring ⁦Greenpeace International⁩ missions or standing up to vested interests in Brussels. #EP24 #KeepGoingGreen

Then my old friend ⁦Cllr. Dan Boyle/An Comhairleoir Dónal Ó Baoill⁩ brought me up to Noonan’s Road, where locals are waiting for a regeneration project for their community to start. The existing houses are so cold, damp and not fit for living in, we have to build new and fast. #KeepGoingGreen #LE2024

.⁦Cliona O'Halloran⁩ is our candidate in the Cobh electoral ward. We are lucky to have such great people with deep roots in their community and a proven track record in activism, who are willing to run for public office. #LE24 #KeepGoingGreen

.⁦Louise Jordan⁩ is our candidate in Cork city North West. She is chair of Blackpool community centre and is passionate about how we can bring urban regeneration to the historic city streets. #KeepGoingGreen

We are investing in public transport, expanding rail services and opening new stations. 🚅

Monica Oikeh is our candidate in Carrigaline. She came to Ireland 20 years ago & has been working as a GP in Cork for the last 10 years. She is campaigning for better local health services, more playgrounds & additional transport services. We got a great welcome. #KeepGoingGreen

Tomorrow, during #NationalBiodiversityWeek , I'll be introducing my Protection of Hedgerows Bill 2024.

Hedgerows play such an important role within our landscape. But they don't have sufficient legal protection, something my bill seeks to address.

We can no longer ignore Palestine’s legitimate aspiration to join the international community of nations. We hope that today will prove to be an important step on the path to peace and the establishment of a two state solution for Palestine in conjunction with Israel.

'Another straight-shooter was Pauline O’Reilly – who was also the most unflappable of the eight.' An interesting night last night! #EuropeanElections24

My colleague Roderic O’Gorman TD has launched the important Equal Start model. These supports will ensure early education is more accessible to children of disadvantaged areas in Ireland.

You can still register to vote in the local and European elections, until Monday. Check the register and #KeepGoingGreen - the climate science is pretty clear that we don't have time or elections to waste

Disinformation is rife in this European election. We are on a knife-edge and we know that climate denial and conspiracy theorising is on the rise. My colleague Ciarán Cuffe on television tonight. We will not bow down to voices of polarisation #courage

Great to see the new Eglington Canal Active Travel Scheme and to open the pedestrian Wolf Tone Bridge with Senator Pauline O'Reilly, MEP Candidate today.

This new path will connect with the Moycullen Greenway - giving locals and visitors a beautiful green corridor along Lough Corrib. #Galway

It’s a long time since I saw so many bikes outside a school.

I had the pleasure of launching the country’s first safe “School Street” at Scoil Iognaid in #Galway City today.

The kids say that they now feel calm & happy coming to school. Another great reason to #KeepGoingGreen

A first in a series of high level energy transition dialogues ahead of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, co chaired by the COP29 Presidency and the IEA, to build on the energy commitments made in Dubai. To triple renewables, double efficiency and accelerate away from fossil fuels.

These attacks on local election candidates are acts of intimidation, designed to stop people campaigning on the ground. We cannot let such political violence have its way. Janet Horner irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

The Nature Restoration Law is very much alive & kicking!

In an unprecedented letter, 11 environment ministers urge their counterparts to adopt the long-overdue law ✌️
