📢🌳🚶🚲 Have your say on DLR Connector!

DLR Connector would see 6km of new segregated cycle lanes and walking facilities.

I really like this project, but the Council want to hear what you think about it. More: evadowling.ie/dlrconnector

Consultation closes on July 15th

See you soon Budapest 🏳️‍🌈

Wishing everyone in Dublin an enjoyable, empowering and safe Pride this weekend.

I'll be joining the (now banned) parade in Budapest, in solidarity with our LGBTI+ siblings in Hungary. We won't allow Viktor Orban's scapegoating of minorities to row back our rights ✊

Members of the National Advisory Against Racism with EU Anti Racism Lead Michaela Moua.

Yesterday we members of the Advisory of the National Action Plan Against Racism held a discussion with civil society on racism & met with the EU Commission Lead on Anti Racism Michaela Moua. The Government is failing in our fight against racism and needs to prioritise the implementation of the plan!

We're very sad to hear today of the passing of Benny McDonagh, who ran for the Party in the 2024 local elections. His warmth and decency will be remembered fondly by all in in the Carlow-Kilkenny Greens and wider party.

With all going on, I've onshored all my IT to the EU/EEA.

Spent the last month leaving Amazon Web Services, Microsoft email and other software services for European alternatives.

Delighted to meet Jerry Sweeney of CloudCIX in Hollyhill yesterday and see my websites running happily and locally.

Widespread breaches of smoky coal regulations uncovered in Dublin ‘Results raise serious concerns about effectiveness of regulations and integrity of solid fuel supply chain’

New findings revealed in a report I requested from DLR show a Dublin-wide investigation indicates that most coal being sold by retailers does not meet legal sulphur limits, posing a major threat to air quality and public health.

Great to be at the AILG training by Wind Energy Ireland. Very informative on the current status and future of Wind Energy in Ireland

I've seen these "post-Greens roads splurge" headlines off the back of last week's announcement of road funding for councils outside of Dublin who don't fund their own local road maintenance.

This is standard annual funding that was increased every year by the last Minister for Transport too 🤭

Have you ever dreamed of scoring a screamer past a Green TD?

⚽ Now's your chance!! ⚽

Óige Ghlas is hosting a Five-A-Side Football match vs. some councillors, former TDs, and others from the party ranks to fundraise for the Young Green coffers!

Well done @hazelchu.bsky.social on a great campaign! #Seanad2025

A very credible 4th place for @evadowling.bsky.social in the NUI Seanad Election :

Michael McDowell 11,390 (Elected)
Rónán Mullen 7,452
Alice Mary Higgins 6,872
Eva Dowling 3,239

Definitely something to build on here. #Seanad2025

Some Dos and Don'ts for everyone on the eve of #ChineseNewYear or more accurately #LunarNewYear!

Happy New Year folks x

It is expected the new deal will not continue the previous coalition’s commitment to a 2:1 spend favouring new public transport projects over new roads. The commitment was trumpeted by the Green Party in the last programme for government. A source involved in the drafting said the programme would be “silent” on the ratio of spending.

A huge step backwards. The 2:1 spending on public transport over new roads is going. What does it mean for the big rail and bus projects that are now approved and ready to go?

No mention of the €360m walking & cycling funding which needs to increase due to inflation.

I've voted for Eva Dowling on the Seanad NUI panel. I think she'd make an excellent senator.

A good day for Belfast with the unveiling of the Rory Gallagher statue outside the Ulster Hall. Rory's rich musical history with the city is the stuff of legends.

Great to have Southern Green Dan Boyle as Mayor of Cork in attendance as well.

Did you attend Trinity or have your degree awarded by #Trinity?

I want to be a strong voice in the Seanad for climate, for equality, and for a better Ireland.

I'm asking for your No. 1 vote or highest preference to ensure that we have a strong, progressive voice representing you in the Oireachtas.

Purchasing derelict sites to bring them back into use is climate action. Funds in place thanks to Green Minister Malcolm Noonan.

An A+ grade for implementation is better than an A for promises on paper.

Today, I joined the European Greens conference taking place in Dublin. It's a reminder that we're part of a wider family and movement — pan-European and global as much as it is local.

Being part of that family and movement has provided resilience before and it will again now. 🌻

Outgoing @europeangreens.eu Congress. Great work over the last 2.5 years. #egpcongress24
