@Cathal63594867 @DubCham It is the taxpayers’ street. Therefore no one person can commander it. So we all pay for the upkeep and use of that street do they cannot fence it off and charge people to use it. It’s Pretty simple - it’s not their problem land.

The pedestrianisation of streets around the Grafton Street area provided a significant lift for businesses last weekend. The public seemed to enjoy it too. We’re delighted to hear that this weekend’s event will see times extended to 11am-11pm. #BetterDublin

As previously mentioned, Trinity has 98.5% smarter travel use i.e. walking, cycling, public transport. Details here. #Data" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tcd.ie/healthytrinity… If you know of an organisation with higher sustainable transport use, I'd be keen to hear about it. Martina

Delighted to see our new wildflower turf rolled out on College Green today. All made possible by the 12,496 Trinity students, staff and members of the public who voted in favour of the move! #TCDWildflowers #SustainableTrinity #InspiringGenerations #Biodiversity

@thedoggynetwork @TCDHealthP @hughpmullen @tcddublin @dubcivictrust @pjprendergast @DubCityCouncil @tcdalumni @tcdglobal @TCDBusiness @universitytimes @tcdsu @TrinityGSU @rtenews @IrishTimes Hi Martina, can you confirm how many private car park spaces are in TCD and how much it costs to have a permit to park your car there?

@rtenews Did you report on Trinity handing out contracts worth millions without a tender process? Or on the court case they recently settled out of court for further dodgy procurement? trinitynews.ie/2020/07/colleg…

Trinity College Dublin has begun transforming its front lawns into wildflower meadows after public support for the bee-friendly project. 🐝 💐 🌱

@ChrisOonan @tcddublin Wasn’t much democracy when Trinity was handing out contracts worth millions to friends without even having a tender process. people were made millionaires off the back of that. trinitynews.ie/2020/07/colleg…

@tcddublin @tcdglobal @tcdalumni @TCD_NatSci @JaneCStout @JenniferMcElwa3 Virtue signalling. If you really cared the whole campus wouldn’t be a free car park.

We are well under way in planting wildflower meadows outside our iconic Front Gate after thousands of people voted earlier this year to replace the manicured lawns with this more nature-friendly alternative. Read more at: bit.ly/3fb9L9a #SustainableTrinity

@MUHost_Path @DubCityCouncil They need to pay rent on the street and it needs to be an agreed space. they can’t just take over as much as they like. What if the shop opposite claims the same amount of space? There is no thought being put into this. the Street does not belong to that business.

@Jess59529941 @DubCityCouncil If the rest of the street was pedestrianised permanently, that would be fine. We need more outdoor seating in cafes and restaurants!

Exciting News! In response to extremely positive feedback received to date, we are extending the hours of the Grafton Street Area Pedestrian Trial to 11pm this weekend i.e. 11am to 11pm Saturday, Sunday & Bank Holiday Monday. Yay! Drop in & check it out! #CovidMobility #Dublin

@MUHost_Path @DubCityCouncil It will be the same experience as you can see they are letting private businesses fence off half the public street for themselves. Try doing that outside your house...

@DubCityCouncil Good, but not enough. I tried to shop in the area yesterday and gave up frustrated because these narrow streets are still given over to cars during the week while pedestrians find it impossible to keep a distance due to lack of space. Just do it permanently and do it now.

@DubCityCouncil Why are private businesses being allowed to fence off public areas paid for by the taxpayer? Are they paying rent on our street? This is wrong. No way should they be allowed to occupy so much of the street, esp if not paying rent.

@98FM What’s the point of car free when private businesses are taking over half of the taxpayers’ street? I pay for that street and much of it can’t be used now unless I pay that private business to sit there. wrong.

@SimonHarrisTD Can teachers get the €200,000 a year car as well? They do more for the country than @simoncoveney

Announcing €1 million worth of extra supports to assist in increasing the number of teachers and support students undertaking post graduate teacher training. A really important area which we need to support

@CiaranL1808 @adrianshanahan @Jennifer_Bray @IrishTimes Well, the government runs the trains so they obviously think the timetable is grand so let them use it.

@flexbrownewfd @UnaMullally @AlvaghCronin @simoncoveney I think he should go on the train.

@UnaMullally @simoncoveney Why can’t he take the train???
