I recently welcomed Susan Juliet Agwang from Uganda for placement. Susan is a Graduate LLM International Human Rights Law and Public Policy - University College Cork, and she was shadowing me for 9 weeks. She was dedicated, hardworking and a fantastic team member. I wish her the very best!

I was delighted to attend a Public Exhibition of 'Drawings on Migrants Women's Experiences of Participation in Policy-Making and Politics' in City Hall yesterday. Well done to Dr. Catherine Forde, Esther Blodau and their hardworking team. I encourage everyone to visit this fantastic exhibition!

At last Monday’s Council meeting, I supported the motion calling on Govt to act without delay on the burials at Bessborough. That means releasing the unpublished archaeological reports, unsealing the burial records held in the Commission archive, & directing the Attorney General to open an inquest.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

At last Monday’s Council meeting, I supported increased funding to tackle the serious problems of damp, mould and cold in council houses. We need the same urgency to fix our existing homes as we have for bringing vacant units back into use. Our tenants deserve much better from us.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Car parks shouldn’t be an afterthought when it comes to climate action. At last Monday’s Council meeting, I asked how we can ensure major car parks like Douglas Court and SuperValu Togher are designed with sustainability in mind including better drainage and solar panels at Black Ash Park & Ride.

The Green Party delivered a 50% fare cut for young people while in Government. Now everyone faces fare hikes while Cork’s public transport infrastructure remains underfunded. No BusConnects Cork. No Luas Cork. Yet €1.4bn is being spent subsidising fossil fuels. Cork deserves better.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

At last Monday’s Council meeting I spoke in support of the residents of Knockfree & Knockpogue Avenues. The revised plans saving 12 of the 22 mature trees are a welcome step forward. Active travel and protecting our environment should not be an either/or choice. We can and should do both.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I was delighted to attend and welcome our visitors at a reception to celebrate the Climate and Health Summit of Mayors in City Council yesterday. It was great meeting with the Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill. Enjoy Cork!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

At last Monday’s meeting, I made it clear that increasing Local Property Tax from 12% to 20% was too much, particularly when families are already facing a high cost of living. I could support a 15% increase as a compromise but not above that. People are feeling the pressure, and we have to listen.

041

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I am overwhelmed to be in Dublin for the launch of the Black History Month. Black History Month should not simply be about looking backwards. It should challenge us to look forward.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

'Stop the Fare Hikes' campaign continued today in my constituency in Douglas Court and Village Shopping Centres and at some of our bus stops. Great support and encouragement received from many people who support this campaign.

0124

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I encourage everyone who is available to join us for the launch of Black History Month in Dublin this Saturday, October 3. We are ONE!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

After the 'Stop the Fare Hikes' leafleting I was delighted to visit the Mahon Men Shed. It was established in October 2025 & it is now a member of the Irish Men Sheds Association. The group has undertaken a wide range of works. This is a valuable community which is accessible and affordable.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Following yesterday’s LPT Special Meeting of Cork City Council, I welcome the agreement on a 3% increase, rather than the 8% originally proposed. This recognises the cost-of-living pressures facing people while generating over €760,000 annually for vital investment across Cork city.

041

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

At Cork train station this morning for the ‘Stop the Fare Hikes’ campaign. Great engagement from people. Thank you to everyone who came along and got involved.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We welcomed a group of 20 Green Party members from Germany who were visiting Cork Greens at City Council today. They were delighted to learn about Irish Politics and us about Germany. This kind of constructive visit should be encouraged.

I was excited to attend the Green Party Summer Gathering in Portlaoise today.

Proud to be in Galway today for a solidarity meeting with Mayor Helen Ogbu following the racist attacks she experienced. A great turnout from across Ireland. Such a strong testament that we stand together and support each other. Thank you, Mayor Helen Ogbu, for the new Renaissance Galway book.

I was delighted to join Cork Commuter Coalition to start the 'STOP THE FARE HIKES' campaign in Cork. It was great to the see fantastic interest from so many people at the bus station in Parnell Place and Patrick Street.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I want to thank Rachel Lysaght @echolive.bsky.social for her excellent report on this important matter. As Cork city grows, investment in parks, sports facilities, community centres and public spaces must grow with it.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Let us have our say on the new Cork Library. I encourage everyone the take part. The public survey is available on Cork City Council website. Both the English and Irish language survey can be found at the below link – open through October 16th 🗓️ ℹ️ www.corkcity.ie/en/council-s...

I was delighted to attend the 40th anniversary of Holy Cross Church in Mahon yesterday, at a ceremony presided over by Taoiseach Micheál Martin. It was great to meet Fr Micheál Keohane and his team, and to learn that the church is also shared with the Polish community.

021

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I was delighted to attend the opening of Beaumont Park by the Taoiseach Micheál Martin. This is a fantastic community facility for Cork City South East. Great work by the Avondale management team. Great to see Deputy Lord Mayor Des Cahill, Senator Laura Harmon and fellow councillors there too.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I was delighted to be out today cleaning around Mahon with Mahon Tidy Towns.

I was delighted to give a tour to a group of visitors in City Hall yesterday. There are lots of events happening around the city that are true celebrations of cultural discussion, creativity and integration. Thank you All for coming!

032

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I was delighted to start a six-week Irish language course at Alliance Française de Cork yesterday evening. I’m hoping to strengthen community relationships and build cultural connections, including with younger people and Irish-speaking residents. It’s also a useful skill to have in public life.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It was great to be back with council business yesterday. The Green team is ready to go and continue to put the people first.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

On Saturday, I travelled to Maynooth to begin a three month course on the Planning System in Ireland. It was great to meet fellow Councillors. I’m looking forward to developing my planning knowledge and skills over the next three months, and bringing that learning back to my work in Cork City.

Delighted to be at Ashling Hotel in Dublin with the Cork delegation for the 2026 Green Party Think-In!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Douglas has huge areas of car parking, much of it covered in tarmac. We should be asking how we can make better use of these spaces by bringing more greenery into our shopping centres. I’ve asked Cork City Council how we can encourage this. Let’s make our city greener and more liveable.

071

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Thanks to the Echo for reporting on this excellent way of celebrating Black History Month in Cork. I will proudly attend this year's celebration & I encourage everyone to join us on October 22nd at Cork City Library. Well done Kemi George and your hardworking team & thank you for your kind words.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Work has started on the Odlums Building at the Marina. This will deliver hundreds of new homes and is the first phase of the Marina redevelopment. With the new bridge linking the train station, the city centre and the southside, this is a major step towards a Living City for Cork.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Comments like this are exactly why we need to keep speaking out against racism. I'm proud to live in Ireland, proud to serve my community, & proud to contribute to the country I call home. Racism has no place in our politics, our communities or our country. Ireland is my home. I am going nowhere!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Residents in Bayly, Douglas are being let down by Cork City Council. No street lighting beyond Maryborough Wood, dangerous speeding, no bus stop & delays to the link to the Mangala. These are basic services residents deserve. I’m calling for action now to fix this.

041

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Great to see Cork’s bridges being painted red! I brought a motion to Cork City Council in December 2025 calling for our bridges to be painted red as part of our Living City agenda. Proud to see it happening. Let’s keep making Cork a city we can all be proud of.

021

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This is not fairness. This is not leadership. And it is not acceptable. I am deeply disappointed and angry about the new citizenship rules. How can forcing people to wait eight years before they can even apply for citizenship possibly solve the problems facing Ireland? 🧵

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Great news for North Main Street. The old Diesel Shop, derelict for years, will become retail & accommodation with up to 25 homes. I brought a motion on this in 2025 to Cork city council. Now let’s tackle dereliction across Cork and bring our city centre back to life. Let’s deliver a Living City.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A long neglected property in Monerea Terrace was an eyesore in the middle of our city. After my motion to Cork City Council, the property was compulsorily purchased and will now be brought back into use as accommodation. This is another step towards a Living City!

071

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

A vacant property on Blackrock Road has been brought back to life as much needed accommodation. Bringing empty homes back into use is vital during our housing crisis. The Green Party introduced the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. Another great step towards delivering a Living City!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I would like to thank Rachel Lysaght at The Echo for shining a light on this very important issue. Some residents in my constituency have been putting up with this bad smell for many years now. I appreciate the efforts by Uisce Eireann to fix the matter but it is not enough.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Cork’s new city library should be a building that Cork people can help shape. I’m bringing a motion to Cork City Council calling for a design competition, giving locals the opportunity to contribute to it's design. And any council owned vacant buildings? We need to turn them into homes.

041

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Public transport fares are going up again in January. That’s not good enough for people in Cork. At a time when we need people to choose public transport, the Government should be making it more affordable. Instead, they are taking more money from people’s pockets.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Congratulations to Cork City FC on winning the league and securing promotion! A huge well done to manager Barry Robson, the players and, of course, the fantastic supporters who backed the team home and away. We are Cork. We are one. Up Cork!

041

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Two city-centre car parks sitting around half empty for much of the year makes little sense. I’ve proposed amalgamating North Main Street and Paul Street car parks, freeing up North Main Street for housing and accommodation. More homes and a more vibrant Living City!

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I was delighted to attend the official handover of EU Garden at the Marina Promenade to Cork City Council. 27 trees were planted, representing the 27 countries composing the EU. A true sign of unity, solidarity and togetherness. It is there for everyone to enjoy and see the trees grow together.

Delighted to attend the Cork Community in Action celebration in Bishop Lucey Park on Saturday. Great to meet Lord Mayor Damian Boylan, Cllr Dan Boyle, Fahmeda from Cork Community Radio, Victoria and members of the Ukrainian community. Thanks Fahmeda for spelling our names in Arabic!

I’m at the Palestine Rally after the Tidy Towns this afternoon. The call from the rally is clear: I encourage the FAI to stop the game against Israel. This is not about the players. It is about the FAI taking a stand and using the influence of Irish football to stand with Palestine.

Cllr Honore Kamegni, Deputy Lord Mayor of Cork @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I am proud to be out today with Douglas Tidy Towns, cleaning around the Douglas Community Park and other places in Douglas.

Yesterday I was invited by residents of Orchard Mews in Blackrock to see what they had done with the €1,000 in ward funding I allocated over the past two years. They have invested the money & their own time to transform their little garden into a fantastic biodiversity hub for everyone to enjoy.
