Spain's Supreme Court upheld that failing to protect residents from industrial animal production pollution violates their fundamental rights: life, health, water, adequate housing.

Pádraic Fogarty: Ecosystem collapse is real and is happening here now Ireland can breeze through the collapse of our own ecosystems because of the stabilising effect of much larger ecosystems elsewhere. Now those ecosystems too are at risk of collapse, due principally t...

Global ecosystem collapse is a real prospect. An appropriate response would be for us to restore our own ecosystems and diversify our food production.

My first piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social - a primer of sorts on Ireland’s role in EU tech regulation

Context for the year ahead, as the 2 foundations of the economy - the 2 forces that dragged post independence Ireland out of poverty - the EU & US FDI - go to war

The cover of The Lie of The Land by John Gibbons. The subtitles reads "A Game plan for Ireland in the Climate Crisis. There's a photo of a cow's head on the front.

One benefit of being laid up with the flu - I finally got to read this. It's a hugely important book and I cant recommend it enough. It takes a lot of complex and overwhelming ideas and makes them easy to access and digest. Despite the subject matter it gave me a lot of hope. #spéirgorm

We absolutely could've built a society where work is minimal and life is mostly about connection and fun. Instead we built this anxiety machine and called it progress.

Happy #socialistsunday in a society where everything is rigged towards profit not human enjoyment

Reminder that Francesca Albanese is not being targeted for a sentence twisted and lifted out of context in a speech.

She is being targeted for daring to name the names of giant companies complicit in the crime of genocide.

They would rather destroy international law than be accountable to it.

Cool, can they do all the ice flights and genocidal weapons shipments too

No ICE in Ireland.
I know our Taoiseach is allergic to doing anything about anything, but this needs to be a red line.

Francesca Albanese is the GOAT, these ministers need some critical media literacy training and then to back the fuck up

We're at the "Trump blaming Covid testing for Covid numbers" phase of official Ireland's climate denial

Oh FFS.

Just for the record, we have a moral obligation to boycott this match. You don't get to murder 50000+ people and stay part of civilized society. "Football isn't about politics" bullshit. Everything is about politics now. The front line is everywhere and everything.

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

More Bullshit Jobs for everyone!!

Great thread, this government is an unmitigated disaster on all fronts.

Yamamori have been there for years, they should have been aware of their neighbours before they opened their soul-less temple of cringe.

Ireland needs an Agent of Change law similar to Melbourne in which case the Hoxton (🤢) would be responsible for soundproofing its own building

Sadly the new Residential Tenancies Bill confirms what we all already know That Politicians Make People Homeless thru' their policies favouring property owners, investment funds over those who need a home But who's surprised in Government with big Landlords as Ministers calling the shots #speirgorm

Comment: The Shannon Three – awaiting judgment For the last two and a half years the state has done all it can to reserve judgment on Israeli genocide.

A private jet touched down in Shannon Airport. Onboard were Palestinian deportees from the US, their wrists and ankles shackled.

It’s not that the Irish state doesn’t want to involve itself with this depravity – it doesn’t want to acknowledge it.

Darragh O’Brien wants legislation for removing Dublin Airport passenger cap fast-tracked Minister will ask Oireachtas Committee on Transport to expedite pre-legislative scrutiny in effort to get Bill passed by end of year

It is my humble opinion that having a govt who is "pro-business" at the cost of everything else is ultimately going to bite us in the ass.

"hundreds of jobs" created by the Airport apparently trumps any environmental concerns that will effect millions of people. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Situation over passenger cap needs to change - O'Brien Dublin Airport is of strategic national importance and the situation regarding the passenger cap needs to change, the Minister for Transport has said.

"we can't have a situation whereby there is a false inhibitor to growth in place anymore"

You know what else is an inhibitor to growth Darragh?

Failed crops, devastating storms & floods, & AMOC collapse.
These are all built in, & this makes them come faster.
