Hereโ€™s a huge opportunity for communities to listen to, learn from and ask questions of expert speakers about how the potential loss of the Triple Lock will affect us all.

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If youโ€™re always consumed by the next outrage, you canโ€™t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trumpโ€™s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Donโ€™t believe him."

Go-Ahead Ireland apologises as users tell of cancellations and โ€˜massive declineโ€™ on S4 bus route Users of the S4 bus route, which is run by Go-Ahead Ireland and serves Liffey Valley Shopping Centre to UCD, say they have noticed a โ€œmassive declineโ€ in the service.

Crazy how private tender for bus routes has turned out exactly as expected (really badly!)

Bring it back under proper public control ffs

Some years ago, @danpathfinder.bsky.social gave me some young pines he'd grown from seed taken from Ireland's sole known indigenous population in Co. Clare. One is now producing cones itself.

After 1,000s of years, native pine is back on the Beara Peninsula, West Cork! ๐ŸŒ

Did you know that you can sponsor trees or an area of woodland for as little as โ‚ฌ1 ?

You can design your own digital certificate, the ideal St. Valentine's present for someone who loves nature

And it's not just a tree, we set aside space for nature, forever.

One thing that struck me is how the NP sits cheek by jowl with Coillte land, who manage the land very intensively for timber production. It's not easy to tell which is which and so the landscape frequently doesn't feel like a national park

Trump is clearly using confusion & fear as part of his efforts to destroy the United States of America

Meanwhile, Comrade Putin does cartwheels of pure joy down the halls of the Kremlin
