I’ve spent decades working alongside some of the bravest people on earth: human rights defenders. Today, on #HumanRightsDefendersDay, I want to thank & celebrate these artisans of hope for their commitment to building a more just & equal world.

What are we thinking in continuing with a TV licence (if what has been leaked is true). Very retro but not what is needed. A media tax on every household and collected by Revenue Commissioners is what is needed and crucial. @EamonRyan @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD

This is not Hiroshima, this is Gaza.

Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel has dropped the equivalent of 6 ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza.

Don't stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it!

Irish solar output exceeded 620MW at 3.30pm on Sunday June 23, a new high. This was almost 17% of all-island demand at the time!

Breaking down each county's contribution that day:
- Antrim ~10%
- Meath and Kildare ~50%
- Cork and Wexford ~40%

Ireland's ranking in forest cover looks bad enough, until you consider that 90% of what we have isn't REAL forest at all, but industrial plantations.

The absolute state of us.

A standing ovation in recognition of Minister @EamonRyan’s transformative impact on climate action both in Ireland and on the global stage was apt at #MacGill24.

The violence in Coolock is utterly reprehensible. The harm inflicted extends beyond physical destruction to emotional and psychological trauma. It endanger human lives and casts a dark shadow over Ireland's reputation

Only thing crazier than insane rate at which temperature records are getting smashed around world & extreme flooding events are occurring is fact that almost nobody is even talking about it.

Almost nothing in our papers or broadcast media. Guess this is how it plays out?

[Hannah Daly @HannahEDaly]

This makes me sick to my stomach every time I see it. Why is this not major, major news in Ireland?

A high chance of abrupt cooling in Ireland within the next two decades.

[Hannah Daly @HannahEDaly]

GHG emissions in Ireland from small-scale peat extraction (just from the drained land, not counting peat combustion) are about 25% higher than emissions from international aviation (3 Mt) and around 60% of the emissions from all power generation in 2023 (7 Mt).

[Malcolm Noonan @noonan_malcolm]

Did you know that one of the most ambitious nature restoration projects in the history of the State is kicking off in Glenveagh National Park, Co. Donegal? I went to see it for myself and meet the team leading the renewal of ecological processes at landscape scale.

[Hedgerows Ireland @hedgerows_ie]

A wonderful thread! ⬇️

Our key takeaway is that hedgerows should be managed on a cycle to create a diversity of habitats for wildlife.

[Ola Løkken Nordrum @OlaLN]

2/13 Firstly, we need to give nature (constitutional) rights and properly protect it.

Ireland's existing national parks are in a terrible state.

The new Connemara national park would have to be different. Nature will have to come first.

🌡️ What we do today will change the future of our planet!
Our world is heating up 🔥 and soon, the opportunity to limit global warming to 1.5°C will be out of reach. We need to act now to ensure a better tomorrow for people and nature🌎

Animal rights groups have called for pig farming to be banned in Ireland after they obtained footage from two farms that the campaigners say depicts severe animal cruelty https://t.co/Bl66DVyTjy
