It is very hard as really thought we got somewhere Paris COP 21 Having campaigned for over 3 decades on climate action since pre cop 1994 campaigns. But we have to keep hope alive, keep pushing for adaptions needed to survive & even thrive, or very dark days ahead www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Cooney, a member of the Commemorations and Naming Committee since 2019 and chair since 2024, said the committee was “welcoming more proposals to commemorate women”. “It’s self-perpetuating us then ... because they only know the men, they keep saying and they keep asking for the same men,” she said

Greyhounds should be treated as pets, not livestock The increase in the number of deaths of dogs in the greyhound sector needs to be examined. The State should not be funding this, and instead funding should be given to transitioning these dogs to loving homes where they can live out their lives.

Plan to traffic calm Clontarf Village with car-free public space welcomed
Local area councillors were briefed today by Dublin City Council officials on a long-awaited plan to add traffic-calming to Vernon Avenue, including a less car-dominated space at Clontarf Village. The project will include traffic calming on Vernon Avenue between Seafield Road and the Clontarf Road, with filtered permeability making the area between Clontarf Park and the Clontarf Road car-free. This car-free area will provide an improved public space around the shops in the village.

Green Party Councillor Donna Cooney said on Friday. “It’s coming from our awareness of a lack of cultural space in the area.” Clongriffin might be ideal for the northeast’s new arts centre, said Cooney. “We’re talking about the population increasing greater than anywhere... as large as Drogheda.”
