I stood in the presence of several very ancient oaks in Bandon's Castlebernard Woods a few months ago, and was in total awe. Such trees are now *incredibly* rare in Ireland. Please support Bandon Environmental Action Group in getting the 34.5-acre ecosystem protected. www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-n...

🚨 Half of all new cars registered in Ireland in September were fully electric (49.3%)! Car sales here are concentrated in January and July, so a single month is misleading, but I pulled out the BEV sales share for July-September sales for the past years: 2024 - 14% 2025 - 22% 2025 - 35% 📈↗️👆‼️

Was bored with work, wanted to do something rewarding, I volunteer a few hours once a month for a charity. It's amazing. A boring Fess, but it is rewarding. Just do something good for someone, it will make you and more importantly someone else feel better. Do it, please.

Galway councillor promises no more projects to make walking and cycling safer
-- "I’m happy with my position" councillor says when challenged by a local advocate. A Galway councillor, Cllr Shane Forde (Fine Gael), has vowed to block any future project to make roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists while he's still on the council. This morning he posted a photo of the September traffic on Castlepark Road on Facebook, and said: "This is the direct result of multiple traffic lights on the new scheme and the taking away of the slip lane at ATU.

Commuters urged to contact their TDs over 15-35% public transport fare hikes
Public transport passenger groups, opposition parties and student unions have come together to call on people to contact their TDs over the recently announced increase in bus, Luas, and rail fares. The National Transport Authority recently announced that fares for public obligation services would jump 15-35% from the start of 2027, in the same week that Government confirmed it would extend fuel subsidies for motorists.

With over 870 school streets in London, 66% of kids are now getting to school by active travel. Every day there are 73,915 fewer cars doing the school run than when we started in 2016 - that’s the equivalent of a traffic jam from London to Newcastle.

So the commuter who helps reduce carbon emissions gets penalised while those who held the country up to ransom have been rewarded. Meanwhile we’re hurtling towards a climate crisis as global heating gets worse and worse.

Even as autumn approaches, Ireland saw a new all-time solar record on Monday: 1.4GW, about 4% higher than the previous record in May ☀️ How is this possible? Solar capacity has grown faster than the sun's seasonal decline. Below, we've highlighted the most improved solar farms since May 📊
A map of Ireland with markers representing generation at solar farms. Markers are sized in proportion to their output in MW. Those plants most improved since the previous record are in purple, all others in yellow.

Footnote reads: Excludes solar farms not registered with SEMO. Excludes rooftop solar.

New study suggests that a shortage of secure bike parking is limiting e-bike adoption. Glad to see this issue getting attention. It's intuitive that people with quasi-secure bike storage might be OK risking a pedal bike, but not an e-bike that's more expensive. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...
