22 votes in it in the end. It's regrettable, of course, but Cliona O'Halloran can be proud of her campaign. Thanks, Cliona, congratulations & best wishes to new councillor Dominic Finn. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

69,197 and out. 40+ years of campaigning through rough seas and calm waters, headwinds and tailwinds, good days and bad. The fight continues. Eternally grateful for everyone who put their trust in me. Thank you. Statement: graceosullivan.ie/post/thank-you

Hallelujah. Well done Malcolm Noonan T.D. and Eamon Ryan. If you ever hear people say ‘we’re a small country, what about China,‘ etc., you can think of the power of leadership. One person, one country, can show the way & make a difference. It’s worth fighting for.

On Eamon Ryan & rural Ireland. Little mention today of the utter transformation he lead in rural public transport services. From 2 buses a day to Limerick in my home village to 8 & regular shuttle to surrounding villages that crosses county lines & links to Cork, Dublin, etc.

I was honoured to be elected Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork today. I am proud to be able to achieve this as a member of the Great Green Party. I continue to write the chapters of my history because nobody will write it for me. Up the GREEN PARTY !

Dan is a public servant of the highest quality and will make an excellent representative of the city as first citizen.

I like "cycle lanes" as much as the next advocate for a liveable planet. But to be clear: this fig leaf of "sustainabily" will not remotely compensate for embodied GHG and additional induced traffic GHG arising from the development. Bananas response to #ClimateEmergency!

I joined the MUD Act reform group today to hear the challenges relating to apartment management. There are Programme for Govt. commitments to protect apartment owners, and I have been pushing for the needed changes already but its clear from today reform is needed and quickly!

The level of greenwashing surrounding the €2bn Limerick-Cork M20 motorway project is shocking. Only 3000 people / day travel between Cork and Limerick. Build a few bypasses and invest the remaining ~€1.5bn in proper active and public transport infrastructure.

Introducing the new leader of the Green Party 🌻 Congratulations Roderic O’Gorman TD!

The wolf is an Irish animal, mac tíre as gaelige, the son of the land. Ireland is their rightful place. They also happen to be a keystone species, without which we cannot address the biodiversity and climate crisis. #InternationalWolfDay

Wow this is back! - Rezoning from green 🤦 - Environmental sensitivity of site 🤦 - blocked by Office of the Planning Regulator 🤦 - LA take high court action🤦 - Evidence this location will be bad for inducing car emissions🤦 - Vast evidence these schemes are bad for nearby local economies 🤦

That's a helluva framing. Do Virgin Media News think the changes are part of an official commuter disruption plan? The proposed changes in Dublin are so small, and only a fragment of what is needed to IMPROVE transport in our towns & cities. What makes it so hard to understand?

note this data is only fish kills it does not account for the number of rivers that are so trashed that they cannot support fish life irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4146…

Has anyone done an analysis on backgrounds/professions of elected reps? I studied zoology then palaeontology, then worked in a museum & was retraining as a teacher when I became a cllr. Felt like there were a lot more auctioneers on the scene. Maybe that's representative?

Story after story like this around the world. Government wants to pedestrianize a strip, businesses think they will lose customers and protest, and then it becomes widely successful and businesses are thrilled with it
