Remember this? Disney understood 70 years ago what driving (& bad urban and suburban design creating car dependancy) can do to us. “Motor Mania” from 1950. Are you a Mr. Walker or a Mr. Wheeler? #CarDependency#RoadRage HT @LiorSteinberg
Great graphics in today's @SEAI_ie Energy in Ireland 2023 report.
Ireland's wind farms provided more energy in 2023 than all other renewables combined and 63.6% of ALL carbon emissions saved.
And lads, sure we're only getting going.

The last cabinet meeting of government was a clear signal that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael want to run a mile from climate action. We never will.

Thanks to volunteers for handing out bike lights in Deansgrange. Cyclelane getting lots of use. Many people said they werent cycling before the cycle lane.
In the next one minute manifesto, Vincent P. Martin reveals our plan to go further, with an affordable 'Climate Ticket' that works on all public transport across the country - All aboard! #climateticket#ge24#greensdeliver@VincentPMartin1
The Fine Gael crowd in the video laughing along at the expense of teachers and cheering O'Leary's comments show that many in FG do agree with his views on public servants.
In the third of our one minute manifesto series @cathmartingreen calls for expanding the basic income for the arts to reach all artists in time. The 2,000 artists taking part in the pilot scheme reported better mental health, and more time to devote to their art.
#GreensDeliver

Every other party loves to talk about climate action & stick a few wind turbines on their manifestos. But when it comes down to it, the environment & public transport will not be given priority in the next government if we aren’t in there.
The others will always find reasons not to act. If you want green, vote for the real deal on 29 November 🌱
A General Election has been called for Friday, November 29th.

At the moment, our entire road sweeping operation is focused on leaf collection throughout the County. If you want to request a visit by a road sweeper to manage leaf fall, contact [email protected] or phoning 01 205 4700 🍂 🍁 #StreetCleaning
To be fair, @greenparty_ie has been the most consistent party in Govt re: nightlife. @cathmartingreen has been a fantastic Arts minister who understood and helped our campaign/culture while @Costellop has been a constant supporter in The Dáil too.
