There are lots of great Halloween events coming up on Saturday. Let's support the ones that bring communities together, and not the ones that damage our parks.

Throughout the entire Fare Hike saga, Government maintained this was a decision by the NTA We now know it was the Dept of Public Expenditure & it was decided 12 months ago Government lied to to the public, the did it repeatedly, & they did it intentionally

cool, cool

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

Not running this year, so out marshalling with my club, Brothers Pearse AC #dublinmarathon

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Staggering numbers of people died from extreme heat in Europe this summer. Now is the time to look ahead and protect our future. europeangreens.eu/news/50000-l...

The N8 bus route was promised by the end of the year. Now, the Minister isn’t so sure. 👀 Have a listen to his response 👇

Not running this year, but I'll be stewarding around Christchurch with Brothers Pearse AC and cheering people on....

Andy Burnham will be furious when he finds out that the Prime Minister is opening new gas fields

Two attacks in a week have hit the Friends of the Field community garden in south Belfast, with plants reportedly poisoned and equipment broken. Police are investigating. 1/2

We need to invest in our grid, but also, this power could be used to supply free hot water to homes in the west? Why not?

Officials have flagged 73 wards in Northern Ireland as red no go areas for asylum housing. Mal O'Hara tells Talkback why it is totally unacceptable for racists and paramilitaries to create no go areas and what needs to be done about it.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

“You can’t sell hope on stage and approve drilling in the office. Greens across these islands are calling this a betrayal of the next generation, and they’re right. Hope isn’t a slogan, it’s a decision, and this was the wrong one.” - Mal O’Hara, GPNI Party Leader

We need politicians with ideas! Ideas that give us all the good things like lower bills, cleaner energy, energy independence. We're pumping out wind, but we're also dumping a lot because we don't have the battery storage. So let's change that @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social

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 👇

We've just had to get diazepam prescribed by our vet to help Red cope with Halloween fireworks. Why should we have to medicate our pets so others can let off fireworks willy nilly? I've raised this at Belfast City Council before. Every year, the same story.

Mal O'Hara, Green Party Leader: “Labour have approved a gas field that, by the operator's own figures, would supply just 2% of UK gas demand. That will do little for the cold homes I see across Northern Ireland. 1/2

The Govt claiming we must drill more fossil fuels so we can use the tax revenues to fund the green transition is about as logical as a doctor telling you to smoke 2 packs a day to raise the money for your lung transplant You don’t put out a fire by pouring on more fuel 🔥#Jackdaw

July was the last time that the Minister met face to face with the solicitors We see growing chaos developing in the courts And we see victims of crime being retraumatized, justice being denied to victims of crime And now we have Jim O’Callaghan weaponising victims of rape in the media overnight.

Is this building derelict? According to the law, it's not. We have a serious problem with dereliction in this country and the threshold for what can be deemed derelict is too high. The government is replacing the Derelict Sites Levy with a new Derelict Property Tax collected by Revenue.

Eamon Ryan: Quiet scaling back of Bus Connects is a travesty

Cllr Donna Cooney @greenparty.ie said she’d normally be in favour of trials, but in this case there’s funding for the full project secured from the NTA, plans have been drawn up & consultation goes back years..in this case,a trial would not reflect the full project irishcycle.com/2026/10/19/c...

Between 2021 and 2025, around 2 million cyclists passed the floating bus stops on Leith Street, Edinburgh, and around 5 million bus passengers boarded or alighted here. No injuries have been recorded. Over the same period, drivers injured around 600 Edinburgh pedestrians, killing 16.

My summer holidays? I went for a bike-ride, a long bike ride across America. Here’s a piece I penned for the Irish Independent: bit.ly/CufTA26

I'm only surprised we aren't feeding chicken to cows. Or maybe we are?

Ireland’s performance on #climate mitigation is the worst in Europe and will still be the worst in 2030. In this infographic that’s measured by the size of the gap between the left of the green bar graph (cuts achieved) and the blue dot (2030 goal).

I think these billboards are ugly and we should discourage them from being installed! The Greens just closed a loophole that allowed advertising companies to avoid paying development levies for billboards in Dublin city.

The 2022 plans for Cross City BusConnects include a bus-only crossing at Slmon Weir. And now the city councillors have decided it is hare brained ?? !!

In action hosting the Q&A after the premiere of ‘Forever is Now’ in the IFI, Dublin last night. The event ended with a standing ovation for Eamon Ryan, a tribute to his many years of fighting the good fight in the political arena.

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

feljin.ie/newbusroutes/ Down to 9 new routes for 2026, compared to 72 under the Greens last budget. None for Connaught-Ulster.

We might even see people use AI in their movies

The new playground on Errigal field (or Dromard Green!) is brilliant, so important for the kids in the area. It's great to see so many people playing there.
