The oceans are being emptied of wild fish to make ... feed for farmed fish, with a 75% quantity reduction in the process.

Sometimes it feels like we're doing every last thing we possibly can to kill off the living biosphere.

I've always supported the idea of a directly elected mayor in this city. Great article by Harry McGee in the city tribune about how this would work. I will be backing a call for having a plebiscite in advance of the next local elections. All eyes on Limerick over the next 5 years

In Galway today we met people stressed & anxious facing eviction.
Yet we also saw huge numbers of vacant homes & airbnb.
The Govt should reinstate the ban on evictions & build actually affordable homes & seriously tackle vacancy and dereliction

Had a brilliant canvass with this crew, including our European candidate Rory Hearne, around Glenard and Rockbarton in Salthill. Main issue as always is the price of housing. Use your vote and vote for change #LocalElections2024 #SocDems

Im putting housing & homelessness central to my campaign for Europe because it is a social catastrophe in Ireland & is worsening across Europe.
Ensuring everyone has a home should be central to the EU agenda.
I will Raise the Roof for housing in Brussels & Ireland
#Hearne4homes

We need to invest more in our recreational and amenity spaces, making them accessible, safe, and convenient for all ages and abilities within our communities #LocalElections2024 #SocDems

Static speed camera to be located on the N59 between Moycullen & the city. Location was chosen based on fatal& serious injury collision data, which makes our councils recent decision to raise the limit on this road to 60 even more perplexing. rte.ie/news/ireland/2… via RTÉ

Had a great chat with Donncha today at the Galway Volunteer Centre Volunteer Galway. We urgently need a new community hub in the city incorporating office, exhibition, & social enterprise space. I fully support proposals for the old city hall to be repurposed for this use.

Handed in my nomination for European elections for Midlands North-West today! Joined by my family, I am very proud to be standing for Social Democrats to work at EU & Irish level on:
- solving the housing & homelessness crisis
-achieving real progress on Climate in a socially just way

13 years of Fine Gael failures can’t be fixed with a new leader

We still have the same Govt with the same failing policies

It doesn’t have to be like this

Ireland needs real change

Vote Social Democrats and let’s build a better future

Delighted to be at the Mayor's Ball this evening supporting 5 incredible charities.

Data presented to the Joint Policing Committee on the speed signs was incomplete. The new council needs to make evidence-based decisions as part of the upcoming review of speed limits in the city. For this, we need independent analysis of the raw data collected from these signs.
