Talking to ecology students in Trinity College, I spoke of the need for creativity and collaboration in the great nature restoration challenge. It will be resource hungry; human and financial and the state needs to lead by example.

Building on this collaboration between climate, nature, social inclusion, development NGOs and politics will be vital to force a radical change in direction here in Ireland. 🇮🇪

Raising the matter of Marine Protected Area (MPA) legislation with MoS for Marine, Timmy Dooley.
He tells me a new approach bringing amendments to the MAP Act is nearing completion and includes many of the elements of the old draft bill, including public participation.

Conversations on the potential of restoring seagrass and salt marsh habitats to store carbon hosted by @ucdearth.bsky.social
A hugely informative event; as Govt scrambles to meet sectoral targets, consideration on these habitats needs further attention.

At the start of our Oireachtas Committee on Key issues affecting the Traveller community, we observed a minute's silence to remember the victims of the Carrickmines fire, ten years ago today.
Ten years on and many Traveller families are still living in dangerous, overcrowded conditions.

The 2015 Gender Recognition Act was a progressive step forward for Transgender rights in Ireland.
But progress has been slow since. I joined Transgender Equality Network Ireland at their campaign briefing to implement recommendations of the 2018 review. Trans rights are human rights.

The great virtuoso Dublin fiddle player Tommie Potts was celebrated in City Hall with the launch of a beautiful book on his extraordinary life by Seán Potts.

The Palestine Crochet made it's way to Kilkenny and was unfurled in the grounds of Kilkenny Castle; a beautiful creative statement.
We stood in silence and in solidarity with the people of #Gaza as Israel continues it's genocidal actions.

Our @greenpartyie.bsky.social think-in kickstarted with a press conference.
We're ready for the term ahead, to rebuild and build alliances with with other progressive parties and independents.
Nature restoration and climate action are being sidelined here and in Europe. Our voice is needed.

Wildlife rescues play an important role in our wider conservation efforts in Ireland.
I visited Kildare Wildlife Rescue to chat with the team about the huge increase in demand for services.
I think its time that there was a strategic fund to support this important work.

Good move Patrick. Apart from exploiting artists, this article from Mark O'Connell paints a damning picture of involvement in the arms industry.
I prefer to buy music direct from the artist at a gig or from a record store.

Kilkenny stands with Palestine and with the people of #Gaza; a great turnout today.
We feel so powerless at times but coming together in solidarity as part of a global movement for peace is impactful.
Well done to the organisers agus míle buíochas once again to our local Gardai.
