Just thinking about these two stories next to each other: 1. In Darndale Park, a football club and a parkrun have been displaced by horses, and some locals have been asking for stables. Nothing yet. 2. In D2, the council is spending €7.5m on a new tearoom in Merrion Square, an area short of cafes?
dublininquirer.com
What to do with the horses of Darndale?
Grazing in public parks means other uses are being pushed out, and adding momentum to calls for an equine centre and stable club to properly support horse culture in the area.

In last years budget, SEAI was allocated €640 million to support home retrofit. Min Chambers has just announced that SEAI will get €654.5 million in 2027 for retrofit. A €14.5 million increase. A 2% increase.

No extra funding for nature, carbon tax U-turn – the Government is clearly walking away from its climate, nature & energy security commitments in Budget 2027. Great to see coverage of our reaction to Budget 2027

That the tender points to a multi-disciplinary approach to the project is extremely welcome, & just what the group have been after, Cooney said “We didn't want just an engineer-based approach...important to consider things like “place making & landscape art” www.dublininquirer.com/council-take...

Thanks to @thenewshughes.bsky.social for asking @rodericogorman.bsky.social to write this piece for the Daily Mail Budget 2027 does nothing to allow people to bring down the amount of oil and gas they use. Jack Chambers has increased SEAI funding by 2% when grant requests have increased by 50%.

"On a per capita basis, Ireland is subsidising fossil fuels at a rate up to 5 times the EU average." "The total fossil fuel subsidy figure for 2026 may well now be more than €6 billion." Compare: the new Children’s Hospital cost €2.24 billion & the total Education Budget for 2026 is €13.5 billion.

STATEMENT ON IRELAND/ISRAEL
FIXTURE
The entire FAI senior management and board need to consider their position. They have catastrophically mismanaged this situation from the outset. Rather than listen to and understand the mood of football fans, they have outsourced the decision to play onto the individual conscience's of the players. It is massively unfair to put this call on the shoulders of young players at the beginning of their careers. Making players vote the day before a match only divides the team.

Great response to our stall against any more data centres. More and more people are waking up to the cost they impose on all of us - higher electricity bills, unbuilt housing, missed climate targets. Come to our meeting Tuesday night 7pm in the Plaza Hotel.

It's not enough that they pay half the price that households pay for electricity. Now they're going to get cut price gas too! It's time we stopped pandering to Big Tech and their data centres which create no jobs, and use our electricity, water and gas. No more data centres!

The decision to increase public transport fares, and the ongoing failure to invest in public transport services, is going to hurt those who rely on public transport, and is going to push people into private cars - increasing congestion, pollution, and emissions.
