Pressures on Ireland's waterways: business as usual will only lead to more disasters like the Blackwater fish kill antaisce.org/news/water-qua… #environmentalprotection

It is inappropriate the amount of time @rtenews spends on individual's deaths. For those covered it seems intrusive, for those less covered it seems devaluing. How about focussing on public issues, rather peaks into the private?

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter! Nature is free yet infinitely valuable. Why not enjoy experiencing some of the wonder it delivers and seek out ways to help to support nature in your community.

The problem of monopoly in economics stressed in a recent @PitchforkEcon but the monopolization of the whole discipline points to much a bigger problem that work from @JensMaesse; @DieterPlehwe & many others address! brendankorourke.net/2025/03/06/eco…

The refusal of @fiannafailparty to explain properly what @sinnfeinireland would have to do to be acceptable as a coalition let's both parties off the hook & the media including @rtenews should ask both FF & SF (as the biggest parties) what it would take.

Did @rtenews not listen to @labour before the election or after or both ...or do they just prefer to disguise complex choices with dumbed down headlines rather than do public service broadcasting? @LaceyDermot #Trust #publicservice #GE24 #GE2024

Great to see the government finally keep faith with the good people of #Borrisokane, even if it took a lot of work from a lot of people #FáilteIsteach @FionaBonfield @alankellylabour and no doubt many others in the community those on this protest.

'Although down, plastic bottles are still the third most prevalent form of litter.' Discarded cigarette butts remain a large challenge. Present at 31 per cent of the 500 sites surveyed by An Taisce on behalf of @IrishLitter rte.ie/news/2024/0624… via @rte

Time to seriously address waste problems across the country We want to end situation- multiple private companies cream profits on bin collection while local authorities are left to clean up the mess Proper investment impossible without remunicipalisation independent.ie/opinion/marie-…

Talk about selective quoting… At every opportunity I talk about how I unequivocally support Metro. Having a comprehensive traffic plan in Phibsborough is important. It’s not a reason to delay/stop Metrolink. In fact congestion is the very reason we need a Metrolink

Thanks to expert Craig Benton for his fantastic workshop in Mt Bernard Park on composting & leaf cages. Each basket can hold the equivalent of 20-30 bags of leaves and are straightforward to use. It's a great way to make a free mulch for your garden too. @DubCityCouncil
