Watching Manchán's funeral ceremony yesterday was a feast to behold. Music, dancing, wildflowers, go hálainn. His passing has had a profound impact on so many, & rightly so. I am really griefstricken by his loss & tried reflecting on this if you'd like to read it. Grá mór to his family & friends 🤍

Bowls of salad, fruit, pastries, freshly made soup & a giant box of bread were leftover from an event in work. The staff have already taken what they can. 3 years ago, this would have all ended up in the bin but now, I'm patiently awaiting people from #Olio to collect it all! Community solutions ✨

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday. O'Leary said on RTÉ Radio that there’s been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.

Thoroughly enjoyed this chat with @feljin.ie about public transport & dereliction in Ireland. We recorded this before Michael O'Leary was dissing the Metro Link too, but I know Feljin has since hand-delivered proof of the cost benefit to Ryanair's head office. You love to see it! pod.fo/e/3166b2

Little reminder that of the 101 bee species in Ireland, only ONE is a honey bee 🍯 A common misconception is keeping hives can save the bees which is like saying keeping chickens can save the birds! Instead, provide some habitat (long grass/bare soil/dead wood) & native flowers 🐝 #WorldBeeDay

It was a pleasure to chat to Anna for this LSE iQ podcast. They didn't just interview AI/data centre experts but made space for an activist which I really appreciate. Give it a listen 🌍

Right. Hibernation over! It's time to start gathering interviews for season 7 of Book of Leaves. I'd love to hear of people/campaigns that are taking positive actions (big or small!) for the planet, or any topics you'd like to learn about & I'll find the person to talk to 💚 #Podcast #ClimateJustice
