Derelict buildings acquired by Dublin City Council should not sit empty for decades. The Council needs more resources, and more ambition to turn these eyesores into homes.

Thanks @AbbeyTheatre.bsky.social for a spine-tingling production of Seán O’Casey’s ’Plough and the Stars’ a century after its first production. Still so relevant today. www.abbeytheatre.ie/whats-on/the...

Dublin’s top of the class for…pollution from ferries. Dublin Port needs to speed up their plans for clean shore-to-ship power. Oh, and a shout-out to Lois Kapila of @DublinInquirer.com for her work on this. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/fer...

Thanks Kilkenny for a blast of a @greenparty.ie Conference, even snuck into the city for a jar in Tynans Bridge House and a glimpse of the Castle.

‘Mission Accomplished’ or descent into chaos?

Regime change in Iran is uncertain, but Trump’s disregard for International Law has slaughtered innocents, and creates further bloodshed and instability in the Middle East.

Hiya Kilkenny, a few words from the Irish Green Party conference, and thanks Mal O’Hara for the supporting role.

Get more of what's important, with the Green Party!

🗳️ Dear British friends, grab your umbrella and get yourself to the polls this Thursday to stop Reform!

👀 Did you know that if you’re 16 or over you can vote in the UK?

4 years of Ukrainian resilience.
4 years of horrors.
We will continue to stand for Ukraine.

This video, taken in a cemetery in Kyiv by @joannakaminska.bsky.social is a powerful reminder of Ukrainians’ continuous resilience and everyday fight for the freedom and security of all of Europe.

Seems like the German Government’s proposed blending quota for green gases in gas networks in the ‘Gebäudeenergiegesetz’ is a pipe dream: an aspiration that kicks climate targets down the road leaving consumers paying higher heating costs for Russian gas.

Nope: manufacturing is an economic activity that produces things and, in doing so, generates emissions.

Households are consumers, and their emissions are only counted when they directly burn fuel.

While missiles pound Kyiv Missiles pound Kyiv, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blocks the support Ukraine desperately needs.

Dublin’s Hammond Lane once Hangman’s Lane, State-owned, earmarked for our new Children’s Court, flooded in these rail-sodden days and empty for a generation. A reminder that we need to better tackle publicly-owned vacant sites, as well as privately owned ones.

How mercury from coal plants can cost lives Coal-fired power plants are a major source of mercury contamination for people and the environment. Here's what you need to know.

Ireland's first four-hour battery storage system launched Statkraft, the largest producer of renewable energy in Europe, has launched Ireland's first ever four-hour grid-scale Battery Energy Storage System beside its windfarm at Cushaling in Co Offaly.

Interestingly, by providing electricity during peak demand, this will better balance the electricity grid, and allow more renewables to be used. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...

US pressures global energy body to drop net zero modeling Donald Trump’s energy chief Chris Wright told other ministers in Paris that a net zero world was fantasy, officials familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

Donald Trump’s energy chief is wrong, decarbonisation is the name of the game, and renewable energy brings cleaner air,  better health, and energy independence. That’s why we call it freedom fuel. www.politico.eu/article/us-p...

10,000 tonne container ship hits the waters in China - electrive.com The Ning Yuan Dian Kun, built by Jiangxi Jiangxin Shipbuilding, is the first Chinese 10,000-tonne container ship with electric propulsion to begin testing.

I know I harp on a bit about electrification, but this 10,000 tonne electric cargo ship is quite a breakthrough. Slow and steady, but I suspect it will win the race on short sea shipping. www.electrive.com/2026/02/13/1...
