The energy crisis is the climate crisis. It’s time the Government recognised that - and stopped burying its head in the sand.

That’s why I’m bringing a motion to the Dáil this week, calling on the Government to act decisively and get us back on track with our climate commitments. So far, they’ve fallen behind and failed to deliver the progress needed.

First shared by @greens-efa.eu almost four years ago, this message feels just as urgent today amid a deepening energy crisis.

We can’t keep ignoring the root cause: our dependence on fossil fuels - driving conflict, damaging our environment, and pushing costs ever higher for ordinary people.

I'll be hopping on Reddit Ireland all day tomorrow for an "Ask Me Anything" session.

See you there 😉

The energy crisis IS the climate crisis.

And we have a Government that is ignoring its climate commitments, at the long term expense of all of us.

Show your support for our Earth Day Motion, demanding that the Govt recommit to its 2030 climate targets and steer us away from fossil fuel dependency

Extra costs associated with the illness, the impact on individual's income and extra long-term costs were discussed during the session.

Research from people affected by cancer was shared too - waiving hospital car parking charges was top of the list of requests from the Government. (2/2)

Today I am voting no confidence in the Government.

They have not only failed in their reactions last week, but are now failing to lead us away from our fossil fuel dependence.

Until we break this addiction, Irish families and businesses will all be at the mercy of the whims of Putin, Trump...

I hope tonight represents a new dawn for Hungary.

Voters of all political views rallied behind Tisza and Prime Minister Elect Péter Magyar. It’s vital that the new Government rules for all the people, unlike the past 16 years.

One thing that struck me at Budapest Pride last year was the amount of locals who said to us that they were proudly marching for the first time.

They were sick of the demonisation of minorities, the grotesque corruption and the gradual chipping away of democracy - and that Orbán needed to go.

Can the government cut carbon tax, and what would happen if it did? Carbon tax is back on the agenda. Here’s what any changes would mean in the short and long term.

Yes this Government needs to do more to help in the cost of living crisis, but abolishing the Carbon Tax, the one tax that is ring fenced to help the most vulnerable, would be the wrong thing to do.

Big claims, but a weak case presented by the airlines this week on the Dublin Airport passenger cap.

EU legal opinion is that the passenger cap is likely lawful.

The “Open Skies” argument is untested and unproven.

What sounds convincing…
isn’t holding up in court.
