The Dublin City Centre Transport Plan is our Paris moment, and I think we'll very quickly be reminded that we once thought people were more important than cars, and our city (and our lives) were the better for it.

I can't stop thinking about this extraordinary intervention from Mary Robinson on the Late Late last week and how no one seems to have heard what she said, including Ryan Tubridy, who brushed off the words 'our children will have no future' like he had a cameo in #DontLookUp .

Watched a dad allow his 3-yr-old to hand feed wild animals in the Phoenix Park today, while a few metres away his two older sons threw carrots at skittish young stags and stamped their feet to make them bolt. You'd really wonder, fundamentally, what the hell is wrong with people?

An appalling way to live and an unthinkable way to die. Can we all agree that a social animal with the emotional intelligence of a dog should not spend its life in a cage barely bigger than its body? This is just so far removed from what most of us think of as a 'farm'.

🚽 Good things come to those who wait! It's over two and half years since my proposal to bring the disused public toilets on Orwell Road back into service was agreed, and finally - after structural issues and other delays - there's a contractor on site! 🙌

When people say Dublin could never be Amsterdam I think of this. @Tempsyngest mini all-ireland: hundreds of families, limited parking, so people were asked to walk or cycle. This was the result. This shows what's possible, and it's why we need to keep prioritising active travel.

🌳 A win for nature today as permission for retention of the unauthorised works currently underway in the Dodder woodland at Pearse Bridge has been REFUSED. The report finds it has 'significantly impacted on the special character of this riparian strip'.

Very proud to vote for my brilliant colleague @hazechu to become just the 9th woman of 352 Lord Mayors of Dublin. In her speech she said she hopes ALL children will be able to look at her and see what they can achieve if they just have the ambition and the support to it. ❤️

Blackpitts, Mill St and Newmarket Sq lost houses, artists studios, rehearsal spaces, markets, cultural spaces and an historic pub, and for what? Could have been an amazing new new community, instead it's a dead zone of empty beds in boxes. #rtept

It's so easy to make men angry on twitter when you're a woman. You literally just tweet and they're like, HOW DARE YOU.

There's a distinction between ‘fast fashion’ & ‘cheap clothes' that I think is being missed. Cheap clothes are just that: clothes that are cheap. But they're not necessarily the problem. The inherent unsustainability of the fast fashion model is what we need to urgently address.

'Dispose of' your perfectly functional car and go electric, even if your primary mode of transport is cycling, says @Shane_RossTD , missing so many points on sustainability, climate action, resource use and mindless consumerism I can't even count them all. What a fucking tool.

Classic bit of Dublin parking today... And with a free loading bay not 10m away! I have requested enforcement at this stretch many times, but so far there's been absolutely no sign of any repercussions for the people driving along, breaking and blocking this footpath. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and: explore the idea of a producer responsibility scheme for textiles. YES! Let people drop last year’s curtains & cushions back to Ikea, or drop the €12 sequinned joggers they wore once to Electric Picnic back to Penneys, and let THEM deal with disposing of them responsibly.

Fast fashion is so-called because it’s literally about speeding up retail & trend cycles so that we buy more. That intentional acceleration impacted high end fashion, mid-range fashion, and low cost fashion, because it’s not about the price so much as the speed of the turnover.

'We'll take your money and hope for the best' is a pretty poor approach from a trusted brand like An Post in any case, but the failure of a state owned company to have appropriate checks and reporting structures in place for the delivery of election materials is quite shocking.

Good lord. They've ended the segment with - 'for balance' - a text from someone who wanted to defend Donald Trump's response in these primarily Democratic states. Astonishing to hear.

. @RadioBrendanRTE contributor is utterly wrong to say Lord Mayor only started asking this week for an outdoor summer plan. In April the Green cllrs, @hazechu included, proposed a plan all about the proactive management of outdoor gatherings, which is now so, so evidently needed.

You, voting for an MEP in May: But Maria Walsh is young, and gay, and platinum blonde! She must be reasonably progressive right? 🤔 Maria Walsh in Europe: LOL, nope! I literally just voted to let migrants drown in the sea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just went for a quick run and was wondering why half the apartments on Clanbrassil St were in complete darkness when everyone's supposed to be home. Then I remembered - of course! - Air BnB.

🚫 No trees. 🚫 No activities. 🚫 No access to parks or woodlands. 🚫 No entertainment. 🚫 No community groups. 🚫 No gatherings. 🚫 No public spaces. 🚫 No play. 🚫 No sports. 🚫 No fun. At what point is somebody going to intervene and say 🚫 No more rip off insurance fees??

✅ Reviewing regulations for clothes banks. GOOD. Countries in the Global South don’t need our rubbish, & our disposable fashion is ruining their indigenous fashion industries as well as our own, which is why ✅ promoting eco-design with Irish designers & retailers also = GOOD 👏

A burning UNESCO biosphere reserve marks a depressing start to National Biodiversity Week. Ground nesting birds that hadn't nested here in years had returned this year, and whether this fire was started intentionally or not, it was the wrong decision to reopen the island to cars.

On the day that car restrictions were lifted on Bull Island, a large grass fire has destroyed parts of the UNESCO biosphere reserve & bird sanctuary. Clontarf Cllr. @donna_cooney1 says @DubCityCouncil must do everything in its power to protect the island.

😍 Check out the lovely new water fountain in Eamonn Ceannt Park! 💦 This was one of my asks from our discretionary fund, which is why I love the discretionary fund, and why the 50% increase next year thanks to a Green Party ammendment to the 2023 budget is such great news. 🤗
