#COVID19 has forced us into an outdoor lifestyle & take away culture. But this is no excuse for the level of litter & waste we are seeing in the City. Yes we need bins & wardens & enforcement but people also need to just pick up after themselves. #litter

Proof that public realm improvements result in traffic evaporation. It's actually a real thing, and not just something the Greens made up to improve public transport, sustainable mobility infrastructure & air quality.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 & replaced it with a restored stream & 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

No more 4% annual hikes for renters! Under the new scheme set to be in place by July 9, rent can only be increased in line with the inflation rate--which was .73% the last three years. Next stop: legislating for indefinite duration. #dbsbyelection

The 4% rent hike rule is being scrapped - now any increase will be decided by inflation

The new rules are set to come in this month.

1/2 This is extremely frustrating. Yes, we need to get building quickly but we also need to stick to the agreed 25% allocation of social & affordable homes at EVERY phase. Ringsend is a strong community – we can’t let it become a preserve for the wealthy.

Government closes in on deal with Johnny Ronan consortium for affordable homes at Poolbeg

The developer has been locked in negotiations with the Department of Housing and Dublin City Council to allow the first phase of the development to commence

'But people can't drive at 30km per hour' was the arguments we heard against introducing safer speed limits in Dublin. Well driving slower also helps use fuel much more efficiently which is pretty important right now. Saving money & lives. Time to revisit that proposal...
