This is the company that owns the Go petrol station on Old Cabra Road and took a judicial review against BusConnects

“It’s giving colonialism”: Ireland still owes rent to dukes and earls. Although, even though the OPW lists these rents as payable, some of the named beneficiaries say they haven't been getting them.

Kildare school objects to opening pedestrian gate, claiming it’d be a public route, but planners say it’s only for school access An extra access point for active travel is the norm at many schools across Ireland, but one school's board of management is so against this concept that it is asking An…

At the Oireachtas Transport Committee today, Irish Rail outlined the next steps for DART+ West, which aims to transform rail services for communities across Dublin West, Kildare and Meath. Key updates from the discussion include 👇

The Green Party supports union members who have been driven to take strike action this Wednesday. The Government needs to stop posturing, recognise that workers have been hit by months of inflation, and deliver a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.

Can you revive a zombie river? Our cities are full of rivers that have been buried in concrete after industrial pollution filled them with filth. But there's a global drive to bring them back: to "daylight" these forgotten rivers. I had a lovely day out in Sheffield today, seeing it actually happen.

Straight to The Hague

www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... Ciarán Cannon nails it in this article. Canney is the worst road safety minister we’ve ever had. He still uses “accidents” in interviews (including when responding to the recent appalling, deliberate wrong-way motorway collision).

Local councillors are calling on Dublin City Council to take action after multiple bags of horse manure were dumped in a green area near Ratoath Road by the Royal Canal in Dublin 7. jrnl.ie/7190717

Show me the money! Why do running red lights and driving down a motorway the wrong way have lower fines than high-vis on a scooter? Comment & Analysis: While road deaths and injury collisions involving motorists have spiked this year, there has been a classic moral panic against e-scooters -- and…

Very efficient to have them doing what DPER already does. My guess is this will be a half arsed DOGE for the Healy Rae and Michael Collins axis who'll get to haul a few woke NGOs into the PAC and cancel a bikeshed in Ennis.

All the talk of accelerating infrastructure while Luas Finglas is being pushed out to 2029 despite having full planning permission

The BusConnects Dublin Road project in Galway has had planning permission for over a year. No mention of any funding to build it in #Budget2027 or the press releases. It would have greatly improved bus journey times and cycling safety in Galway. #speirgorm

Ok but my fares are going up by €300

In last years budget, SEAI was allocated €640 million to support home retrofit. Min Chambers has just announced that SEAI will get €654.5 million in 2027 for retrofit. A €14.5 million increase. A 2% increase.

Having written off 4 years of carbon tax revenue (and no indication yet how that hole will be filled) the Tanaiste spends a section of his speech talking about how important energy transition is to his Government. But what the the measures he is actually announcing?

20C in Dublin on Oct 5 is bonkers

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Ireland imports 80% of its wheat. Not great food security. Concentration on livestock farming elbowed Irish wheat out. Imported wheat and flour add considerably to the cost of living crisis. But new crop science opens the door to Irish grown wheat. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/listen/clip/...

Same guy also said the Luas made no economic sense and would fail to attract significant numbers of riders. Today, it's so popular it's free.

Due in 2024, but timeline now “disappearing” for  video upload on Garda road traffic reporting portal -- It could help "take our most dangerous drivers off the roads" but opposition spokesperson says it isn't a priority for Minister for Justice....

Thankful to have had the opportunity to sign this open letter.

Out with my party colleague, Honoré Kamegni, and members of the Cork Commuter Coalition at Kent Station this morning — handing out leaflets to rally people to contact TDs to stop the fare hike. Commuters across Ireland have joined forces. Use this form to write to your TD: galwaycommuters.ie/fares/

Call to fact-check columnists after another anti-MetroLink article from Colm McCarthy A new article by economist Colm McCarthy against the planned 19km MetroLink from central Dublin to Swords has prompted a call for newspapers to fact-check their columnists....

Independent mediation now. Green Party Deputy Leader Lesley Veronica said: "What we have seen at Drumcree is a failure of politics, a failure of process, and most importantly, a failure to properly listen to the people who have lived with the consequences of this dispute for decades. 1/6

The gaping hole in Colm McCarthys article in the Business Post today is this "The only available evaluation of MetroLink’s costs and benefits was released as part of the TII’s preliminary assessment in 2022."..... A business case was published last week..... www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

Fact: No

The €1bn spent on fossil fuel sinces April would have put 8kw battery & solar on 100,000 homes buying them energy freedom for 20+ years. The €1bn+ that will be spent over the next few months would bring that to 250,000 homes. What we lack is will and vision

Even the victims are to blame, it seems. Unbelievably tone deaf from the minister who cancelled the reform of the Road Safety Authority, scuppered the speed limit reform and cancelled the red light camera enforcement pilot.

Perfect day to attend the Reilly’s Community Garden AGM with @feljin.ie and discuss their plans for the next year. And thanks for the lovely tomatoes 🍅

Another Cabra Litter Pick is happening on Saturday, 26 September at 10am. A lovely way to start your weekend! @colmorourke1.bsky.social @cllrcat.bsky.social @mariesherlock.bsky.social @feljin.ie @phibsboro.bsky.social @garygannontd.bsky.social

@feljin.ie thanks for organising and pulling so many diverse voices together for the fares increase protest yesterday. It’s great to see the Greens take the lead and others to follow.

Fairer fares? Absolutely! That’s why Greens, SocDems, Labour and People Before Profit were at Dáil Éireann today, calling on Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien to reverse the proposed 15% increase in public transport fares in #Budget2027. Madness!

There are renewed calls on the Arts Council to remove greyhound racing from its Culture Night website. The listing encourages members of the public to "celebrate Culture Night at Shelbourne Park" - a track where dogs suffer and die www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

This is what the Climate Act enacted by the Greens does. This is what the Government (and some opposition parties) are slowly undoing.
