Commuter groups have described increases in public transport fares as "absolutely unacceptable", accusing the Government of asking bus, rail and tram users to "in effect" cover the "astounding cost" of an extension in cuts to Excise Duty on petrol and diesel

Public transport fare hikes - while fossil fuel subsidies remain. Government seem determined to steer us towards car-dependence, if you'll pardon the pun. Cost of living, air pollution, emissions - this is an attack on public health and well-being. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

There are 100s of reasons why this is a bad idea. Here are just some of them: - Reduced PT fares shown clearly to help protect against cost-of-living crisis💶 - Everybody loves the €2 fare💚 - It's made switching between buses much more attractive🚍 www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I bumped into an old college pal last year in Skerries when I was out there for a family thing She'd moved to Barcelona, had a beautiful fella, everything perfect. And a baby! Which was why she was in Ireland, it was 40°+ in Barcelona, she'd only been able to take the kid outside after it was dark

A sobering read from Conor Dowling here. Glad his family were able to leave and stay safe. Extreme heat and climate breakdown is the new normal but it shouldn't be this way. Children deserve a fun summer holiday! But even more importantly they deserve a liveable climate for their future!

The Liffey is an icon of Dublin, but it’s also a dividing line. It divides the north from the south. There’s politicians in this election who want to further that division. But I don’t think that’s what we are about. When you’re on the Liffey you can see clearly that we are one city and one river.
