Why the need to take our coffee for a walk - and drink it from a paper cup with a plastic lid?
Is it not much nicer to sit down and relax for a few minutes?

Alongside many campaigners, the Green Party have absolutely dragged the Labour Government to finally end the child cap.
Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.
This shows why the Green Party membership rising and rising matters.

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the so-called "Rural Independents" reverse the 2:1 spending ratio of public transport vs roads delivered by the Green Party in government.
They're living in cloud cuckoo land — on climate, nitrates, housing, cost of living, public finance…
You name it, they've blown it.

We can’t cut transport emissions 50% by 2030 with these allocations. This plan doubles down on car-centric thinking—more pollution, less movement, and zero vision for healthy, sustainable transport.

Bringing in new rules with zero public scrutiny or engagement with affected people and advocacy groups is reckless.
The consequences of these decisions will be deeply damaging... and the government is relying heavily on media and public attention having moved on to get away with it..

That’s quite an own goal by Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien delaying the Finglas Luas by two years, and stalling on DART+ South West till 2030, on World Sustainable Transport Day, no less. Who needs Judicial Reviews when Fianna Fáil’s running the show?

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

This is appalling. A public transport project that could start tomorrow, and would take loads of traffic on the road, but will not progress at all under this government.
DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads.
The exact opposite direction we should be going.
