Good news for Cork commuters. From 20 July, the 90 Minute Fare will be introduced across the Cork metropolitan area, bringing it in line with the integrated fare system. Child fares will also be reduced, making public transport more affordable.

@MichealMartinTD John Hume was a visionary & you are a traitor to Ireland & its people 😡 Get out because no one in Ireland wants you.

John Hume was a visionary of peace and a passionate advocate for a shared European future. To honour his enduring legacy, later this year we will establish a new annual prize in his name to recognise those who champion his values.

This weekend, we celebrated Pride and stood with LGBTQ+ communities across Ireland. Pride is a celebration of equality, inclusion and the freedom to be yourself. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's celebrations so special. 🌈

Wrapping up two productive days in Luxembourg ahead of Ireland assuming the EU Presidency in five days. Our focus will be on competitiveness, security and European values, with citizens at the centre as we drive progress on energy, affordability and decarbonisation across the EU.

@fiannafailparty I suppose you have to have pride in something because your performance in government is nothing to be proud about 🙄

Delighted to be in Castlebar today to mark two major milestones in the delivery of this flagship Further Education and Training project. With the purchase of the Mitchell Barracks site for a new FET College, this special place in Mayo’s history now becomes part of its future.

🇮🇪🇪🇺 With less than a week to go until Ireland assumes the Presidency of the EU, I was in Luxembourg today for Environment Council. I outlined Ireland’s priorities for the Environment Council and discussed the Presidency with Austria, France, Germany, Poland and Spain.

I agree with @MichealMartinTD here. The "triple lock" was brought in without a referendum and can and should be removed without one. I don't want Putin, Trump etc. having a veto over how Irish governments deploy our defence forces. This is a matter of sovereignty.
gript@griptmedia

"We're not Switzerland": Taoiseach Micheál Martin shoots down the idea of any sort of referendum on the Triple Lock, saying that under Ireland's political system, politicians can change the policy "if that is our wish", because "we're democratically elected."

This actually quite disturbing. They answered the same question from another journalist. They are just being rude, insulting and obnoxious to @Ben_Scallan . They may not agree with @griptmedia but they are still a credible news outlet. Should I refuse to have the left on my radio show?

The Social Democrats will "absolutely" support Ruth Coppinger's bill seeking legal recognition for "non-binary" genders, the party's health spokesman Padraig Rice has told Gript.

Congratulations to Energy Ireland on their 30th conference. Great to speak with delegates about Ireland’s energy transition, the progress being made and the importance of accelerating renewables, electrification and decarbonisation as we build a more secure energy future ⚡️

Decisions on migration should be taken in Ireland. Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael opting Ireland into the EU Migration Pact is wrong. It undermines Irish sovereignty, hands power on migration over to Brussels and won’t fix the serious problems that this government has created.
