"We can no longer put off these changes and the urgency cannot be overstated. It will not get easier or cheaper, and year on year the need will become even greater. The environment underpins every sector of the economy and every aspect of our lives, our health and our wellbeing."
"Progress, economic prosperity, and health all threatened unless Ireland increases the scale, pace, and ambition of environmental action." Good to see the @EPAIreland saying it as it is.
But I'd go much further: Ireland remains an ecological disaster.

SIFAN HASSAN IS ONE OF ONE 🇳🇱
After taking bronze in the 5,000m and 10,000m on the track, Sifan Hassan comes out and wins GOLD in the women's marathon in 2:22:55 -- a new Olympic record.
She showed off her track speed and sprinted past world record holder Tigst Assefa 🇪🇹 in the final homestretch.
Easily one of the greatest feats in distance running of all-time.
Assefa takes silver in 2:22:58 and Boston Marathon champion Hellen Obiri 🇰🇪 grabs bronze in 2:23:10.
