I was thrilled to represent the Lord Mayor at the 17th Kenya Annual Ball in Cork on Saturday. It was a wonderful evening of fun, friendship and festivities! Well done to everyone who organised and attended this great event.

Despite the cold weather, I was thrilled to be out on Saturday cleaning around the community with the Mahon Tidy Towns. Mahon is looking spotless. The awareness is working. Let us continue to clean our front door!

Cork Luas project neglected under government’s new transport plan, councillors say Cork city councillors have criticised the government’s latest transport plan for including only one mention of the proposed Cork Luas and for pushing other planned transport projects out to at least 2...

Thank you Peter McCarthy for an excellent report. The LUAS Cork project is vital to people in our city, and seeing it sidelined in the new Government Transport Plan is simply unacceptable considering the calibre of Cork’s political leadership. We’ve been let down!

Honoured to stand with the Abolish Direct Provision – Amnesty Campaign in Cork today. As a former asylum seeker, I believe all IPAS centres must close and residents must have the right to work and support their families.
Join us in this vital campaign — we are one.

No to the Ringaskiddy Incinerator!
Cork Harbour is shared by city and county. The air we breathe has no boundaries. I’ve brought a Council motion for an incinerator levy to stop this, as the Greens did in 2007. Thanks to CHASE, my fellow councillors and all who’ve campaigned.

Busy day in Mahon! After meeting constituents at my clinic, I joined Fahmeda Naheed on Cork Community Radio’s 'Let’s Integrate'.

We had a great chat whch you listen back to here:

I was thrilled to attend the Seandún GAA 100th year Dinner at Páirc Uí Chaoimh today. Thank you Eddie Murphy for signing my own copy of the commemoration book. It was great meeting with Minister Jerry Buttimer, my Councillors colleagues, and GAA Officials.

Last week in Cork City Council, I spoke about the importance of protecting Cork’s Green Belt and sticking to proper, long-term planning. Opening the Green Belt would only increase traffic, costs, and sprawl. Let’s plan for the future the right way.

Woman dead and husband seriously injured following Cork stabbing A man in his mid 20s, who is known to the couple, was arrested at the scene in Ballinlough.

I am deeply saddened by this heartbreaking tragedy in the Ballinlough community. My sincere condolences go to all who are affected as they face such an unimaginably difficult time.

I joined my Cork City Council colleagues in submitting a shared objection to the proposed incinerator at Cork Harbour. I thank my fellow councillors for standing together on this crucial issue.
The deadline to make your own submission is 5pm today - your voice matters!

Despite the wet weather, I proudly join my Green Party colleagues for the Climate Action Demonstration in Dublin today. Great to meet with Roderic O'Gorman and Malcolm Noonan. Massive turnout, thank you all for coming.

I spoke this week at Cork City Council about immigration. No form of violence is ever acceptable. Ireland is, and must remain a country of peace, unity, and welcomes. When we stand together, we are stronger.

Honoured to attend my 2nd council budget meeting today. Real independence means sourcing our own funds. Grateful to all who made it happen.

New city centre wardens begin patrols in Cork to deter crime and support businesses Four city centre wardens begin work in Cork this week to deter anti-social behaviour, assist visitors, and support local businesses

The new Council Wardens started today. This is a fantastic idea! Thanks to Cork City Council for this initiative. We’d love to see more community-focused projects like this across the city.

This week at Cork City Council, I called for Housing First to be adopted as a core strategy in Cork City. We need to put recovery, stability, and compassion at the heart of our housing policy and help the most vulnerable move from homelessness and addiction toward stability and recovery.

I spoke at Cork City Council calling for LUAS Cork to be recognised as a top national priority in the new National Development Plan (2026–2035). Cork has shown real leadership in planning for a sustainable, liveable city. Now we need the same commitment from national government!
