Restoration at the head of Liffey should reduce flood risk downstream for Dublin city. "The simple thing is, protect this, and you protect the city," says Marcus Collier, associate professor and head of botany at Trinity College Dublin.

Great news about Moyross train station today. New stations are also being designed for Cabra and Kylemore Road. But we still have no certainty over what projects are getting funding in the National Development Plan and when.

We are 1 week into this project and we are overblown by the amount of data rescued by the volunteers who've taken a few minutes each to contribute. Thanks to @maynoothuniversity.ie for the great promotion!!

Are you a little confused about how Ireland’s Presidential Election works?

A request for weather interested volunteers!
Met Eireann would like to rescue millions of weather observations taken in Ireland over many decades that are still stuck on paper. #WeatherRescue
Anyone can help: www.zooniverse.org/projects/met...
The council is working to find a home in the Docklands for the salvaged stern of the ship "Naomh Éanna". Members of the local historical society restored it, and the council is looking at displaying it near the new Dodder Bridge.

A map of Ireland showing the locations of Mountmellick and Ballitore.
Quaker families also operated businesses in meteorologically data sparce regions of Ireland including Mountmellick, Co. Laois, and Ballitore, Co. Kildare. Mountmellick had breweries, bakeries, and a famous embroidery industry. The papers of these industries may have weather data within them. 4/
13.10.2025 17:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It would be very beneficial to my research to discover if weather observations were recorded at their other breweries and businesses. The Quakers appear to have been keen gatherers of meteorological data and so it is hoped that weather stations were established in other Quaker run businesses. 3/

A poster showing industries operated by the Pim family in Dublin including their department store on South Great Georges Street, Dublin, and the Greenmount Factory in Dublin which manufactured linens.
After further sleuthing, I discovered that this address was the location of James & Co. Ale & Table Beer Brewers. The Pim’s were a well-known Quaker family in Dublin who operated other breweries in the city as well as a famous department store on South Georges Street. 2/

A digitized image taken from Dublin Magazine (1820) showing a meteorological table containing observations for barometeric pressure, precipitation, max and min temperature, and wind direction. The observations were taken by a J. Pim at 55 City Quay, Dublin.
I’ve recently begun a PhD, part of which is to discover missing historical meteorological observations recorded across Ireland. Meteorological tables contained within the short-lived Dublin Magazine of 1820 were recently found. The observations were taken by a J. Pim at 55 City Quay, Dublin 1/

A law that is voluntary is no law at all. It's hard to see how this can comply with EU Regulations, and how it will deliver the necessary results.

The threat of legal action under the Investor Courts is a real threat to climate action and progressive public policy. (1/3)

This Climate Visualization Belongs in a Damn Museum
In 2018, @blkahn.bsky.social said that the warming stripes graphic 'belongs in a damn museum', even suggesting that it was 'fit for the Museum of Modern Art' (see gizmodo.com/this-climate...).
Well...
Later this month, they will appear in the Museum of Modern Art: press.moma.org/exhibition/p...
