Ireland is one of the world's leading countries in achieving social progress. Over the last 30 years, Ireland & Iceland are the two western European nations to have made the greatest progress on social and environmental measures, says @socprogress 🇮🇪🇮🇸📈 socialprogress.org/social-progres…

How do we manage a hundred votes in half an hour? Like this. Good results on Sustainable Development Goals, renewables and European semiconductors

We must listen to the people of Ukraine and respect what they say on ending Russia’s illegal and unjustified war against them. Proud to stand strongly with Ukraine in a debate with Clare Daly MEP on @RTEUpfront last night 🇮🇪 🇺🇦

Will be on air on @RTEUpfront in just under an hour to debate whether nature restoration is compatible with a thriving rural Ireland. (Spoiler: it’s not optional, it’s essential)

"Every single other war has ended by peace talks" - @ClareDalyMEP Responding to a woman who has fled the conflict in Ukraine, MEP Clare Daly defends her wish for peaceful negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian forces. #RTEUpfront

"Here is the peace plan - Russia get out of my country" - Thomas Byrne @ThomasByrneTD on the war in Ukraine and why he disagrees with @ClareDalyMEP on having peace talks with Putin #RTEUPfront

@RTEUpfront curious for @MichaelFitzmau1 to further elaborate on his claims in which the current EU regulation on nature restoration would have negative effects on the agricultural industry in Ireland.

"Nobody is going to force anyone to do anything" - @ClareDalyMEP MEP Clare Daly says there is "no hope" for the government, if farmers can't be incentivised to rewet agricultural land to tackle the effects of climate change. #RTEUpfront

"Get your claws off the land" - @GerryLoftus9 Gerry Loftus, a farmer, gives his view on EU regulations to rewet agricultural land. #RTEUPFRONT

All panel members in @RTEUpfront contributed greatly to dialogue this evening. We would particularly like to see @ClareDalyMEP shed some light on the EU proposal for nature restoration, and what that really means for irish farmers, if anything.

Happy to have attended @RTEUpfront this evening. Politically-stimulating conversation on nature restoration in rural Ireland, as well as peace talks between Russia and Ukraine was discussed.

@EamonRyan Interested to see what further developments this leads to.

This is about the public sector showing real leadership on climate action - changing buildings and heating systems, greening office life and practices and shifting how we might get to and from work. It will not all be easy. But it will help us meet our climate targets.
