@IrishRail there are no information screens on platform 6/7 at Connolly Station. These would be a useful addition especially when there is disruption so commuters know which platform for the non Dart services. It's on the app but not everyone uses this. Appreciate your efforts.

@IrishRail tag on machine on South bound platform in Rush and Lusk station. 8.28am train to Pearse is shorter than normal. People at Donabate who can't get on now have a 30 minute wait any reason for shorter train?

[Emer Barry @emerbarry]

Shout out to the person playing 9-5 on the piano at Pearse Station this evening. Keeping us all entertained as we wait on the train @IrishRail . Also great rendition of the Fr Ted theme tune. Bravo and take a bow

Out with the old & in with the new[er]⚡️🚗 !

Yesterday, I traded in my 161 diesel Skoda Octavia (126k km) for a full electric 202 Hyundai Ioniq (34k km)

Lets run through some of the numbers to show this transaction makes sense financially, + is a much greener mode of transport!

@PresidentIRL Such a great day for Lusk National Schools. The children were all just fantastic, delighted I got to be a part of it. Such an honour to have @PresidentIRL there.

Are we approaching the tipping point for EV adoption in Ireland?

In the first quarter of 2023, for the first time ever #EV sales surpassed petrol/diesel car sales in Ireland. Shane Prendergast, Programme Manager for #EVs, looks at what this means.

@GeorgeTakei What are these people so afraid of. Open an honest discussion with young people is so important using appropriate words and information for their age. Make all of these issues the norm and remove any stigmatism can only make the world a more accepting place

The sum of all kilometres driven by private cars in Ireland was 3.5 billion kilometres in 2019.

📈 11% above the celtic tiger peak in 2008
📈 51% higher than in the year 2000.

The question is do you really need a car? Article: https://t.co/gADTsyVRdC
