Great to see & if we build more segregated cycleways & speed reductions there will be even more people cycling. I see this on my daily cycle route especially when you get to Newcomen bridge the cross road of bicycles from C2CC & Royal Canal. Build it & they come!

Spoke about this and have long been advocating for more nighttime street markets.
@greenparty.ie Councillor Donna Cooney highlighted night markets as a prime example of something that could breathe new life into the city after dark.

Roll-out of city's new clothes recycling banks should start at last in April, says council official Complaints about waste clothes strewn around clothes banks spiked early last year – as did questions around where the deposited clothes actually end up.

320,000 customers weren't able to pay their energy bills last year

When asked why households pay more for energy than data centres, Minister Chambers said our view wasn't supportive of economic growth.

When will Government put the needs of Irish citizens over the interests of big businesses?

The online portal to submit dashcam footage of dangerous driving is delayed again.

The gov cancelled the camera enforcement pilot last year. The draft strategy to roll out camera enforcement around the country has been sitting on Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social's desk since May 2025.

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.
