🌍 A new, strengthened #ClimateActionBill has just been approved by cabinet.

⚡️ This Bill pushes Ireland further and faster on emissions reductions than any country has achieved before, fixing new, ambitious targets for Ireland and making #ClimateAction the law. It's #TimetoAct.

Trees are the backbone of a healthy environment, and restoring Ireland's forests has the potential to create valuable public amenities, support communities, and pave the way for a new generation of foresters and farmers. #IntlForestDay #Together4forests

People in Ireland want to see Direct Provision ended.

I am absolutely committed to dismantling the failed system and replacing it with a new model that is rooted in human rights.

Great to see a definite plan on #endingdirectprovision and especially that human rights and integration of asylum seekers is core to it!!! #EndDirectProvision

Good green news in this weeks Athlone Advertiser. Two local groups, Moate Action Group and ETHOS Tyrellspass, get funding through the Community Peatland Initiative Scheme. Shout out to both groups for keeping community projects going through these tough times. @Wmeathheritge

[Roderic O’Gorman TD @rodericogorman]

The vast majority of the Irish public want to welcome, support and celebrate Ireland’s diversity. They reject the faceless online trolls who are trying to sow division. 

Solidarity to all those on the receiving end of hate and racism. ✊ #EndRacism

[Eamon Ryan @EamonRyan]

We are closing the scrambler loophole.

Gardaí will have sufficient powers to seize scramblers and quad bikes so local authorities can ensure green spaces are safe and accessible to all.

The Green Party offers solidarity and support to our Chair @HazeChu as she continues to be subjected to a racist campaign of harassment and intimidation. What happened yesterday was utterly unacceptable. #WeStandWithHazel in rejecting the actions of those who would seek to divide

[Louise Heavin @louheavin]

Great announcement from Minister @EamonRyan
