Call to join a protest for climate change saying the energy crisis is the climate crisis on a green background with a megaphone

JOIN THE EARTH DAY PROTEST: 5.30pm, 22/4

Next Wednesday, 22nd April, Party Leader Roderic O'Gorman will bring a Green Party motion to the Dáil to mark Earth Day.

It calls for a renewed commitment to our 2030 climate targets, the protection of the Climate Act, and increased investment in nature.

And because the Govt. majority on the Oireachtas Infrastructure Committee voted to avoid the pre-legislative scrutiny process, TDs and Senators cannot even question the Government's rationale for targeting the Climate Action Act, and why this Bill is being steamrolled through the Oireachtas (2/2)

The Critical Infrastructure Bill as drafted will be the death of the Climate Action Act.

It will mean that major projects in areas like energy and transport - some of the biggest building projects in the State - will no longer be checked for their climate impact (1/2)

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...

This is a great article by @marcocathasaigh.bsky.social

The only certainties in life are death and taxes, so at least let's make tax work for us

This is how you are supposed to react to high oil prices. We have just been bounced into do itn the opposite. Delaying carbon tax under pressure from the protestors will slow our move away from fossil fuel. In the long run we all lose.

The long-term solution to the fossil fuel crisis is *not* more fossil fuels.

The Green Party has no confidence in this government

Over the course of last week, the actions of the Government continually made a difficult situation worse.

They caused confusion, raised tensions, and failed to protect Irish people’s ability to go about their lives for 5 days.

It has no plan to move Ireland away from its addiction to fossil fuels

Hungarian opposition ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power Péter Magyar’s Tisza party wins election as prime minister concedes defeat, in result likely to reshape ties with EU

Seeing Victor Orbán concede defeat feels like a big moment for Europe - we have seen 16 years of eroding social rights in Europe, rescinding LGBT freedoms, rights for refugees and women and building fossil fuel based alliances with Russia

Picture of an article in the journal and the caption can the carbon tax be cut by government

@rodericogorman.bsky.social contributed to this article on @thejournal.ie today.

It looks at the effects of removing the carbon tax, and how we’d only end up paying anyway

www.thejournal.ie/carbon-tax-f...

Worth a repost given the times we’re in

If we don’t pay it here, where we can then use it to pay for social protection measures such as fuel allowance & energy credits, or to provide warmer homes, then it will be paid to the EU where we have no control over how it is spent.

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks.

Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December.

So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland.

A really accessible explanation of what's involved in the Hungarian election on Sunday — and a real-world example of what the "illiberal democracy" of the populist right looks like.

Ring Road approved, but Galway deserves more than just another road, says Greens’ Murphy | Green Party Responding to the decision of An Comisiún Pleanala (ACP) to grant permission to the Galway ring road, Niall Murphy, Green Party candidate for Galway West, said: “Today, the Galway City Ring Road has been granted permission. Clarity has been given on this project, but Galway deserves more than just a ring road. “The most important thing to do now is to start pushing forward the other transport projects which have been delayed by the Government as the ring road planning process has been ongoing.

The Critical Infrastructure Bill means that projects that definitely will have a climate impact; big energy projects like liquefied natural gas and electricity sucking data centres, these projects will no longer have their climate impact assessed when they're going for planning permission.

Cyclist (20s) dies following collision with truck in Dublin city centre A man aged in his 20s has died following a collision involving a truck and a cyclist at the junction of Middle Abbey Street and O’Connell Street in Dublin city centre this afternoon.

Horrific.
My thoughts are with the man who was brutally killed on our roads today and all who loved him.

No one should lose their life like this on our streets and we have so much work still to do in Dublin to stop this happening again.

☑️Climate change is real
☑️It's impacting Irish weather
☑️It's costing you money
☑️and it's getting worse year-on-year.

The Climate Change Advisory Council's report "Our Changing Climate 2025" shows us that extreme weather is no longer the exception, it's the new reality.

It's been a good week for Greens across Europe, with Mayoral wins in France and Germany and now a second place result for the Green Left @sf.dk in Denmark!
Congrats - tillykke! 🇩🇰
