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 no good outcomes if we remain above 1.5°C. Across the globe, extreme heatwaves are already proving that climate impacts will strike faster, hit harder, & last longer - costing more lives and causing deeper disruption ... We can – and must – get on the right path." #climateaction

In Ireland, cars > children. New research has found that 80% of Irish children never cycle to school. In other words, policy is working exactly as intended. Decades of car-centric planning have steadily taken away children’s independence and freedom.

'Absolute generational collapse' in cycling because it's 'simply not safe'

New research has found that 80% of children never cycle to school, even though over two thirds of parents said they wished their kids did.
