Kevin. Eco worrier. Father to a 6 year old boy, worried for his future, as any parent would be.

@savebrideotters All I'm seeing is rain, all the as far as Inchigeelagh, where I was today. It's just another damp and grey Winter's day in Cork.

@SadhbhO Insidious industry lobbying is aided and abetted by even our more reputable media outlets. Walsh is CEO of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation so he has skin in the game.

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

It's always fun to see O'Leary throwing a tantrum, not only does he think he can dictate to the Irish govt. on matters of policy but he's now so deluded that he thinks he can do it in the UK too. https://t.co/sG69snGfgs

@think_or_swim @weareyellowdot Against that backdrop, there was an utterly grim segment on Newstalk today with Many Johnson & Michael McDowell being given a platform to have a go at the Greens and their climate policies. https://t.co/cEWCDjySYO

@LeadingEwe @WoodlandTrust We used to play games with apples, but carving turnips sounds like fun. Roasting monkey nuts was another Halloween activity I can recall.

@Davependo @BarryJFleming @eoinmauricedaly It's done for the same reason that causes some of these yellow hi-vis jacket wearing folks to spray weedkiller around the base of trees in public parks. Nature isn't meant to be neat and tidy.

@BarryJFleming @eoinmauricedaly The first step towards making pavements safer is to stop cars parking on them.

[Euro1984 @environ1971]

@ray_cun In Cork city footpaths are for parking cars on, even though that practice is technically illegal, with zero enforcement it might as well be legal.

@leslpmac @savebrideotters There are bare patches on the grass in public green spaces which are directly caused by over zealous council operatives and their tractor mowers, all paid for by our taxes. If they can't even cut grass in a competent manner how could they be trusted to do anything else?

Agriculture uses over 70% of Irish land, contributes 1.11% of GDP and creates 37% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions - now its far-reaching influence has been mapped out for the first time by @DeSmog

An Taisce are the Irish National Trust, their mission is "To protect and celebrate Ireland's natural and built environment for present and future generations, and to ensure Ireland leads the way in defending a liveable planet", some politicians hate them. https://t.co/seQHeRZsIn

what don’t I like about shooting and hunting? Like a lot of ancient shit that people love to cling onto in the hope of some return to “the good old days”, there is no justification for it, in the name of “preserving the ecosystem”. It’s about bloodlust and power 1/2…

[Elaine McGoff @ElaineMcgoff]

Fascinating to see the ag-lobbying machinery so clearly mapped out.

The false sustainability narrative for big agri is pushed by multiple players in Ireland, and this chart tells you exactly why it's so pervasive.

[Euro1984 @environ1971]

@DeSmog @CookePhoebe @MicHerrmann @swimsure According to Simon Harris “The nitrates derogation is a national asset,” are our rivers not more important national assets?

@GardaiOn From the driver theory test : "It is never permitted to park on a footpath."
