Sam Maguire cup taking the train from Dublin to Mayo. I love it, travelling in style! www.rte.ie/sport/footba...
Love this photo print by Erica Coburn at the RHA summer show: ‘Different Strokes’. The magic of a warm day on the Dublin coast.
Building renovations need to be more targeted, better monitored and more focused on results. A clear message from the European Court of Auditors. #EPBD www.eca.europa.eu/en/news?ref=...
Ouch! 80% of Dublin’s electricity going to data centres? Tom Parlon, chair of the Irish Data Centres Supplier Alliance needs reminding that his members cannot ignore environmental and consumer concerns. europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/chat-ar...
A proud moment as Ireland takes over the EU Presidency, but crucial that climate and cost of living concerns take centre-stage: greenparty.ie/news/climate...
Big shout out to the @Greenparty.ie crew at Dublin Pride today. One Story. Many Voices. Scéal Amháin. Go Leor Guthanna.
The challenges of our time cannot be solved by an isolated nation-state alone. As Keir Starmer departs here’s hoping the UK Labour Party is willing to engage again with Europe. europeangreens.eu/news/starmer...
Heatwaves are silent killers. Europe must step up its efforts to cut emissions. europeangreens.eu/news/heatwav...
'Saving the turf'. An art piece by Conchúr O'Coinleáin at the RHA's Summer Show in Dublin. rhagallery.ie/events/exhib...
A travel day for me today. Saint Pancras Station once the largest enclosed space in the world, almost demolished in the 1960s, and today Eurostar's London terminus. Still takes my breath away every time I visit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Panc...
Stark news from Ireland’s EPA. They say “No real improvement in water quality. The main reason for this lack of progress is ongoing pollution from … human activities such as farming, wastewater discharges and runoff from land.” greenparty.ie/news/governm...
Dún Laoghaire’s coastline: here’s a piece I wrote based on the work of my Dad, Luan Cuffe published in the Irish Times in 1968.
A road trip to 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands today. A new political party comes to life; @progressiefned.bsky.social Congrats @jesseklaver.groenlinkspvda.nl and colleagues. europeangreens.eu/news/europes...
Nice! All European night trains running in 2026 on a single map. Thanks @back-on-track.eu Have you ever taken one? back-on-track.eu/all-night-tr...
The people of Northern Ireland: the hard work and dedication of community leaders, volunteers and emergency service personell in standing up to bigotry and protecting the most vulnerable is an example to us all.
Quite a buzz to European Sustainable Energy Week discussing implementation of greener buildings under the #EPBD, and pleased to see an umarell watching over construction work outside.
Didn’t expect to be discussing Komorebi (木漏れ日) the scattered light that filters through when sunlight shines through trees, (or built-in solar PV). Strange things happen during European Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels. Thanks @europeon.bsky.social for the invitation. #EUSEW
Took the low-carbon #Sailrail option to Brussels today, stunning view of Dún Laoghaire on the way out of Dublin Port.
Dublin's O'Connell Street? So much potential, but too many empty shops, cheap shop signs and casinos. The Council and the new Dublin City taskforce headed by Robert Watt must raise the bar: www.dublininquirer.com/could-a-prom...
The next round of EU sanctions on Russia is due to be approved on July 15. The Irish Government must conclude its investigation into Aughinish Alumina well in advance. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
It's time to shut the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry. It's time for effective EU sanctions. Photo: Alan Betson/The Irish Times europeangreens.eu/news/eu-loop...
Big congrats to our green colleagues in Denmark on entering Government. Delighted for @piaolsendyhr.bsky.social leader of @europeangreens.eu member party @sf.dk Free public transport for young people, free dental care and lower taxes on fresh food are on the way! europeangreens.eu/news/green-l...
Looks like El Niño is back, with more heatwaves and weather uncertainty, not what we want in a warming world. Another reason for Governments to support clean energy and reduce energy costs. wmo.int/news/media-c...
Good news from Hungary: with Viktor Orbán’s departure Budapest Pride 2026 gets the green light from Mayor Gergely Karácsony. europeangreens.eu/news/budapes...

Heat records for May dropping like flies all over Western Europe. We’re going to have to burn a lot less stuff in future to escape the worst of this. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...
Thanks @OxfamIreland.bsky.social for a super Africa Day event. So good to meet Somali-Irish social activist Ifrah Ahmed of Ifrah Foundation working to end FGM/C, we go way back! Also a pleasure to meet Khotso Takane from the Embassy of Lesotho, and also a fairly familiar face from Dublin Central!
