Hundreds protest proposed water sports facility at Ardmore beach Carrying placards, the protesters chanted 'Ardmore says no' and 'our village, our choice' as they walked a section of the beach before re-amassing at the beachside carpark

The people of Ardmore are protesting against a โ‚ฌ1.2 million government investment in their village because.... They won't be able to park at the seafront anymore?..

This does not compute ๐Ÿ˜„

This is very exciting! If you get a chance Oliver, you might have a look at an email I sent you last week (25th March) about an eBike project for @stjohnambcork.bsky.social ? Thanks!

That is very exciting! The eBike symbol has been on the app for a while. Any details on how it will work - can they be docked at any dock at every station? Same cost as pedal bikes - free for first 30 mins?

Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly passes bill banning Budapest Pride parade Organisers or participants of a banned event could risk fines of up to โ‚ฌ500.

If this can happen in an EU country in 2025 - it can happen anywhere. We can never rest when it comes to basic human decency & equality - the weak will always fear anyone who is different. #Pride #Hungary ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

Today, our new ambulance SJ65 is on its first duty at Holi Festival in Fitzgerald's Park - Ferdia & Alan are looking after everyone there.

Ger, Mary and Martin are in Pairc ui Chaoimh, and we have crews in Ballinhassig at an equestrian event. #CorkCity #StJohnAmbulance

The best possible outcome for Ireland from this US visit, would be the resettlement of the Burkes and McGregor to USA - it would suit them perfectly! ๐Ÿ˜†

Dozens of electric buses not in use due to lack of charge points Dozens of zero-emission buses ordered by the National Transport Authority 18 months ago are not yet in service, partly due to delays in installing charging infrastructure at two Dublin bus depots.

Really helpful, thanks! The only thing with Ireland is - we bought the buses, but cannot charge them. LOL www.rte.ie/news/primeti...

Ireland has 87% electric city buses? That can't be correct?

'Cork light rail is a significant investment, but it's going to be worth it' Darragh O'Brien has said a luas-style transport system for Cork is now expected to cost between โ‚ฌ2bn and โ‚ฌ3bn

Minister O'Brien "hopes to get the project to planning before the end of the year."

MOVE FASTER! Infrastructure projects in Ireland appear to be to planned as if we are all immortal. We'll be dead before Cork Luas hits the rails. #CorkCity

I hope the shepherds are wrong - @carlowweather.bsky.social says there's a grand week ahead, and he is infinitely more reliable than lads looking after sheep!!

I think the only reason we haven't seen Americans take to the streets yet, is that Americans are so poorly looked after by their own state, they don't have the capacity to be enraged because they're worried about healthcare or working 3 jobs. The "American Dream".
