Pod of this week’s @lstwrd on the Environment with @cooper_m on Today FM now online. Astute listeners may spot that I’m deeply unimpressed by our so-called #climate minister, Darragh O’Brien, as out of touch with reality as he is out of his depth. todayfm.com/podcasts/the-l…

This week’s @lstwrd on the Environment with @cooper_m coming up shortly. Topics to include Budget 2026 and #climate, US bullies EU to cut green rules and EU moots daft ‘veggie burger’ name ban.

@Jellybooks @thebookseller @PublishingIRL Any idea where you could buy a hard copy of The Bookseller in Ireland?

@Jellybooks @thebookseller @PublishingIRL Excellent, many thanks!

'The Lie of the Land' by John Gibbons @think_or_swim was also fetaured on the cover of @thebookseller this week which was dedicated to to the Irish book trade...

President Michael D. Higgins today received journalist and author John Gibbons @think_or_swim at Áras an Uachtaráin, who presented the President with a copy of his new book ‘The Lie of the Land: A Game Plan for Ireland in the Climate Crisis’

As much as the book is a devastating critique of what Gibbons calls “dishonest discourse” from agribusiness lobby & in media, it’s also an unsparing review of role of policymakers in bringing Ireland to its climate-vulnerable position” By @niallsargent thecurrency.news/articles/20046…

Beyond chuffed to see THE LIE OF THE LAND debut at No.9 in Ireland’s Non-Fiction bestseller list this week!

"Gibbons’ book is an education for anyone baffled by the rows that bedevil Irish #climate policy...but mostly, it’s a plea for honesty around topics when hiding from the truth has been the national approach" Indo's in-depth review of THE LIE OF THE LAND. independent.ie/entertainment/…
