Great to hear that people's experience of arriving to Lismore has been broadly positive, though there are a number of concerns that residents voiced to the Minister @joefingalgreen that we'll be working together on to resolve.

Thank you to the local Lismore For All group who welcomed me to the town & gave me a great oversight of the integration efforts happening there. Great to also meet some people who have recently arrived in Lismore & are making a home there.

Just to set the record straight…
Anyone campaigning for bans on fixed-bottom turbines from Irish offshore wind farms are campaigning for higher carbon emissions.

10% of our energy last Thursday afternoon came from solar power. 6% from solar power plants @EirGrid graphic 👇& an estimated 4% from homes, farms and businesses.
That’s keeping 1 large power plant off the system. By next summer we will triple this.The Solar Revolution is here.

Just 3⃣ days until Ireland's Overshoot Day The Earth can only re-generate so much in a single year. We'll have maxed out that capacity by 21st April this year Meaning we'll be over-consuming & stealing from our own futures for 254 days this year #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency
