The Spanish government proactively implemented a 10% VAT reduction on fuel and called for windfall taxes on energy firms to cushion impact for consumers. Spain’s heavy investment in renewable energy & strategic autonomy reduced relative economic shock compared to more fossil-fuel-dependent neighbors

Hannah Daly: Irish people are again paying a high price for our reliance on fossil fuels But renewable energy relies on resources that will never run out and cannot be cut off as act of aggression

In my @irishtimes.com op-ed today I argue that our climate law is the best framework we have for making energy secure and affordable, because it tackles the root cause of our vulnerability to energy shocks - our dependence on fossil fuels.

Why the reign of SUVs on Irish roads should end There are many solutions to tackle the problem of heavy, fuel-hungry SUVs, but all require bold action from policymakers

TD calls for car-pooling parking bays at motorway junctions to help commuters cut costs Financial burden rising for commuters despite Government excise cuts, with few alternatives to driving for many

Dublin Commuter Coalition; calls on Government to prioritise emergency funding In the wake of President Trump’s latest escapade of global chaos, Government are predictably about to cut taxes on fossil fuels amidst the rising cost of living. Rather than ignoring our obligations…

Government must prioritise sustainable transport in any emergency relief funding

The solution to the rising cost of oil will never be tax reduction. It’s better cycling infrastructure, more frequent & reliable public transport and Work from Home measures

28 civil society organisations and trade unions call for moratorium on new data centre connections Campaigners accuse the Government of enabling a “Big Tech power grab” over Ireland’s energy system

Vulnerability shouldn't be an obstacle to getting involved in politics.

If anything, it's a benefit.

For too long, we've seen emotional shutdown from govt parties, who seem unable to empathise with regular people and constituents.

It's time to change that.

And in case there is any doubt about this, environmental groups have brought the CRU to the high court to object to their policy which green lights these damaging DC-energy infrastructure projects.

Report on that @rte.ie.

Instead of announcing policies to curb or manage the increase in data centres, the government is rolling out the red carpet.

Today marks National Day of Action on Data Centres. Volunteers and community groups across the country are raising awareness about their negative impact on our energy security, supply and prices.

Senator Patricia Stephenson: Where is the Occupied Territories Bill? | Eolas Magazine eolas Magazine is Ireland's leading policy, politics and business magazine which reaches over 10,000 senior decision-makers and influencers in government, business and the voluntary sector

It is not the legislation itself that would give rise to a challenge; it would be any continuing failure by Ireland to comply with its obligations that could present a legal challenge. Non-compliance would be a breach of Ireland’s international obligations. #gaza

Government urged to ban US military from using Shannon Airport as a stopover Shannonwatch, which tracks US military stopovers through the airport, said there were a number of such flights over the weekend

"The gulf states gave the US the right to have military bases on their territory in order to protect them, but instead the presence of these bases has actually become the source of their insecurity". Food for thought. #ireland #neoliberalism

Family at centre of protest deported back to South Africa A mother and her three children who were at the centre of a controversy over their ordered removal from the State have been deported to South Africa, it has been revealed.

We are sorry to hear about deportations such as these. Vulnerable families should not be deported like this after having spent time integrating, regardless of their official status. This is wrong, and we need to wake up. #ireland #scapegoating #taxsuperwealth

Data centres, mostly located in the east of the country use substantial amounts of water. A medium-sized data centre can consume up to roughly 110 million gallons of water per year for cooling purposes. We won't even go there regarding electricity #ireland #neoliberalism

Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

The most effective way to cut road deaths is to cut car dependency. The best way to cut car dependency is to:

1: Increase investment in public transit
2: Enact transit oriented development putting people closer to where they need to go.
