If we get the right incentives in place, there will be a positive tipping point, where farmers show they are the “doers” and become the well-paid heroes of our climate transition irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

I was proud to facilitate some of the sessions at a G7 meeting in Paris yesterday on methane action. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Motley gave an inspiring speech making the point that farmers would be among the most impacted, if we do not tackle climate change. #ClimateCoalition

The tools exist. The science is clear. What's left? Scale. At @G7fr Labelled Multi-Stakeholder Event on Methane Action, leaders from energy, waste, and agriculture came together not to debate what to do but how to move faster. 🔹@IEA released Methane Tracker 2026: iea.org/news/tackling-… 🔹@MethaneData announced expanded satellite alerts to coal and waste sectors: unep.org/news-and-stori… 🔹 Countries, civil society, companies, and philanthropic donors showcased concrete actions already underway The @CCACoalition's newly launched Super Pollutants Country Action Accelerator is how we get to scale. ccacoalition.org/content/super-…

Not their first rodeo. The #AcceleratorEU plan has learnt lessons from our response to the last energy crisis. Reducing our dependency on fossil fuels by electrification, lowering power prices, more grid flexibility and promoting better clean technologies. linkedin.com/posts/eamon-ry…

Even of the war in Iran ends tomorrow, it should see us changing our energy system for good. The Irish Government should use our EU Presidency to pass new legislation, promoting more renewables, grid flexibility & lower prices, so we electrify everything. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

Our climate gathering in UCD tomorrow evening is being organised in collaboration with ⁦@GF_IRE⁩ and will be live-streamed from 7pm-9pm here: youtube.com/live/eiR0Q6opD… #climatechange #WhatWillItTake

Don’t believe the negativity – Ireland’s retrofitting scheme for homes is not failing, in fact we are rated the best country in Europe when it comes to improving domestic energy efficiency irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

Here is a link to the ‘Vacant to Vibrant Building Alliance’ report, which I believe the Government should implement. It would provide 120,000 more homes for our people while transforming our city and town centres for the better. igbc.ie/wp-content/upl… irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

Come to a special event in Theatre L, Newman Building in UCD from 7pm on Thursday 26th March, where we will be asking what are the cultural, philosophical or spiritual dimensions that might inspire our response to the climate crisis we face. climategathering.org #ClimateChange

More than 1,500 intellectually disabled adults are living full-time with a parent who is over 70 years of age – and, of these, 450 live with a parent who is over 80. #BeforeWeDie irishtimes.com/health/your-we…

Three things I hope will be in the maritime defence plan due this week. 1 Naval bases in Dun Laoghaire & Rossaveal. 2 Use our marine energy experience to deploy new protection platforms, which also defend nature. 3 A new cadre of ‘play station sailors’. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

Every public servant is now on notice, they have a legal obligation to insure we deliver on our climate action plans. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

A new Trans Atlantic electricity cable from the Shannon Estuary to Canada would be the best response to Mark Carney’s call for new connections in an increasingly divided world. #NorthSeasEnergyCooperation irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

I am terrified by what is happening in the United States. A vote for Mercosur would be one good way of fighting back against their trade war tactics. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

I was glad to join @danobrien20 @BrigidLaffan and @MaryERegan on the Brendan O’Connor show today, talking about the events of this remarkable and frightening last week. rte.ie/radio/radio1/b…

Surely it must be time for a “mast year” for humanity, when we decide not to give up but to rise again to the challenge, knowing that the solutions we bring will work better for everyone. #ClimateChange #Environment #Ecology irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/1…

The first question for Artificial Intelligence should be, can you run the Large Language Models, without us having to burn any more gas? irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/1…

Good to see the EU Commission has today published its Affordable Housing Plan, which was influenced by the work we have been doing on the Housing Advisory Board. We can start to build from here! housing.ec.europa.eu/european-affor…

If we are going to deliver better infrastructure, then the department responsible for public service reform, must first and foremost be willing to reform itself. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/1…
