DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.
Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.
The NDP review has been released and it’s not good news
NO funding for Luas Lucan, Poolbeg or Bray before 2030
No inflation matching for Active Travel
No funding for Dart+ South West
AND they admit we wont even meet half the emissions targets for Transport reduction
“They’re making it harder and harder for people to get around the city”

It’s another exciting day as Luas Finglas has just been granted planning permission 🎉🥳🎊
The conditions also require stronger consideration for protected junctions and safer cycling along the entire route as well
Another huge step for Dublin’s public transport network
So proud of Catherine Connolly and her fantastic people powered campaign running away with it across Limerick.

(And a promise for the two of them to share a gin and elderflower.)
4 years ago @labour passed a motion to forge a common platform with the like-minded left.
This work will continue beyond #Aras25 election and @ivanabacik has been a driving force behind this.
The next Government can be a centre-left led one! ❤️
4 years ago we @labour started working on building a common left platform
Last January @ivanabacik started the process of agreeing a joint left candidate for President
I’m so proud of the leading role we’ve played in @catherinegalway’s campaign
We must continue from here❤️💜💚
There’s still time for FF and FG to do right by students - @LauraHarmon01
“The cheek of this Government to pretend that they are decreasing fees by €500 is a slap in the face to so many students and families across the country.

Heather Humphreys pledges to learn basketball, if elected president. Questions raised about similar pledge made when appointed minister for playing basketball in 1999 #Aras25
Somebody somewhere deep within RTÉ is ringing everyone booked for Morning Ireland tomorrow to tell them that “unfortunately we won’t be able to cover x tomorrow morning…”
