Born at 339ppm. Social justice, human rights, environment, climate change. Global, Irish, European, Tanzanian, African issues. Left X, prefer Fediverse/Mastodon but also here. What I do:
I joined Lelia Doolan (91) today for part of her peace walk from Shannon to Dáil Eireann. When Leila walks to Leinster House I expect the Taoiseach to meet her and to act on her call to ban US military aircraft from Shannon and pass OTB. www.shannonwatch.org/content/walk... @ipsc.bsky.social
Trump's playbook: pressure Europe into scrapping protections for people and nature. Today Greenpeace Belgium activists are sending a strong signal from Brussels: our rights are not up for negotiation. Europe must #ResistTrumpsAgenda! @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu
People in Ireland or connected to Ireland - please support this petition calling on Irish institutions to leave X and replace X icons with Mastodon icons ! my.uplift.ie/petitions/ta...
Delighted @catherinegalway.bsky.social will be Irish President and that she is active on Mastodon&Bluesky. Calling on her to use Mastodon.ie &Bluesky as President, with icons on president.ie. People should not have to subject themselves to Musk/Zuckerberg algorithms to get updates. #mastodaoine

If it is up to the EU, the newest planes will be on their green list, the Taxonomy. In doing this, they are encouraging pension funds and banks to put our money into polluting, fossil-fuel-powered aviation. This is greenwashing. Only real climate solutions belong on Europe’s green list.
@greensefa I put this poster in my window on Main Street Cloughjordan to encourage people to vote in the European election 7 June (and local elections in Ireland)
People are exposed to high levels of dangerous forever chemicals in everyday products from food packaging to children’s toys. @alexanderdecroo We demand EU leaders to tackle this public health problem #BanPFAS http://wemove.eu/NoPFAS https://t.co/ETPNXMUyNX
Geneva Association @TheGenevaAssoc Your insurers' climate policies are turning heads and raising temperatures. 🔥 Time to turn down the heat! #SayNoToFossilFuels https://t.co/XeVXjincBN @LloydsofLondon @AIGinsurance @Zurich
🌳🚫 Critical ecosystems must be off-limits for industrial development. @KlaasKnot @bankofcanada, align our financial choices with people and the planet's well-being. Rewrite the rules for banks. #G20India https://t.co/d5QC0FY12I
@EamonRyan @BrianLeddin why is the EPA allowing this? Why aren't Microsoft being told to build energy storage infrastructure, or scale down, instead? Extract from https://www.businesspost.ie/news/microsoft-secures-planning-for-e100m-gas-plant-to-power-data-centre/
Yesterday’s @SCOR AGM brought some positive news: Thierry Léger announced that they won’t be insuring any new gas projects. Will this pave the way to ending insurance for all gas projects? #InsureOurFuture https://t.co/8dURzt6qQm
Despite its net zero pledge, @LloydsofLondon has no policy in place to end fossil fuel expansion and has failed to impose its very limited policy on its managing agents. #NoMoreFossilFuels https://t.co/i1jF9xDiB5
https://scientistrebellion.com/ IPCC 6th synthesis report was issued this week and nothing is changing as regards emissions
This one’s for you .@LloydsofLondon @Chubb @Travelers @AIGinsurance #StopEACOP via @Eko_movement @mothersriseup @StopEACOP https://t.co/VU9RzQVu5f
Four activists are occupying a critical piece of @Shell’s oil equipment. We demand justice for communities impacted by the climate chaos Shell has caused. #MakeShellPay https://t.co/s8nZHXu3Ue
.@CHansenEU, you and the @Europarl_EN are on the right side of history. ✊🌲Stay firm against @EUCouncil and the @EU_Commission: make sure that the EU deforestation law protects forests and other ecosystems like savannahs and wetlands #Together4Forests https://t.co/H2kRr21ciw
Dear @DidierBudimbu - I hope you got the message blasted onto Greenpoint Stadium in Cape Town during Energy Week. It’s simple - invest in renewables, #DontGasAfrica https://t.co/czphRV4EAn
Seeing this ad under this (good) article just makes me despair. The advertising industry, airline industry, and "shopping mall" consumer culture type industry is actively leading us on a path to catastrophe.
#ClimateStrike #FridaysForFuture outside my office in Limerick today 23 Sep in solidarity with the climate strikers worldwide #FFF #Limerick
