So, according to this, Ireland has the 2nd highest electricity prices in the world. No surprise, since we're subsidising the energy use of data centres. www.visualcapitalist.com/electricity-...

Trees decide for themselves where they should grow, even if there is no soil, like these yews in Killarney NP. @irishrainforest.bsky.social

Crops perform better with solar panels as the moderate extreme temperature, reduce soil evaporation and increase yield.

Canalising rivers has been an epic, historic and expensive mistake. Yet, in Ireland, we continue these historic colonist practices from the late 18th and 19th centuries under the guise of flood protection at a cost of billions of €. This is from The Book of Wilding.

Ivy is buzzing, literally, with bees, hoverflies, wasps, and butterflies at this time of year. It provides vital late autumn pollen and nectar to vast numbers of insects. Its berries are vital for birds in the depths of winter. Ivy is amazing. Preserve it.

Sycamore are an invasive species that out compete and crowd out native saplings. They should be eliminated where possible. The furore in the UK about 1 tree is perplexing. #sycamoregap species.biodiversityireland.ie/profile.php?...

Carrigadrohid is not exactly drained down either, but still plenty of flood storage.

Inniscarra is still at its wintertime normal level, so expect continued high flows for the rest of the day.

200m3 per second is currently being released. The discharge tipping point for flooding of the city is about 250m3. Remember also that the ESB released 550m3/s in 2009 which caused devastating flooding in the city.

Major discharges from both Inniscarra and Carrigadrohid dams on the river Lee to well below TTOL in advance of Storm Bert to avert flooding risk.
