7 years ago this month 10 people, including 5 children and a pregnant mother, died in the fire in Carrickmines. In the weeks after the fire, the bereaved survivors were physically blocked from staying at another Dun-Laoghaire Rathdown Council halting site by local residents.

- They told us it was unconstitutional to freeze rents. - They told us AirBnB wasn't to blame. - They told us the market would fix itself. Now the market has been laid bare, shown up for what it was: out of control! The whole time, we knew they were wrong. This proves it.

Up to 4,900 homes on Airbnb in Dublin available (without tourists), + 000s more as students go online/leave city.. this will likely solve the rental crisis & bring down rents. Landlords would be wise to keep the tenants they’ve got ( @RobCross247 Jan ‘20)

An unreported truth about the #AmazonFires ; the majority of land clearing is for cattle rearing. With the Mercosur trade deal 10'000s heads of cattle will be shipped to the EU. It's OUR demand for meat that's partially driving this. If we really want to have an impact, quit meat!

We've now had a year of Covid on the news, everyday, every bulletin, every newspaper, everpresent in every news cycle. But the collapse of our rainforests barely gets a footnote. Life on earth is entering free fall and our media are woefully silent.

African Rainforests will suffer from a totally new climate of unprecedented heat from 2025 onwards with staggering consequences for all life on Earth.

Frightening. The pervasive idea that we need to protect our agricultural industries, farming at all costs seriously needs to be challenged. Unless we change there'll be nothing to farm.

Dublin City Council CEO Owen Keegan said he believes homeless tents should be removed from the capital, and that they add to a perception that the city is “edgy”. #homeless #not1home

The spread of #COVID19ireland is very serious. If you're planning or organising an event, remember that the experts are calling on us to flatten the curve. We achieve this with social distancing. It may not be profitable or pleasant, but the right thing to do is postpone.

@EndaBrady The model is proven to work internationally. Mondragon in Spain, Desjardins Group in Canada, Norinchukin in Japan, Triodos Bank etc. There's hundred's of amazing examples across the world. Credit Unions are one of the most resilient models as they're decentralised. We can do it!

We’re hurtling toward a situation where the sea, primarily in big storm events, is going to destroy large swathes of our coastal towns and cities. This decade! But the economy. Bla bla bla. What is it people don’t get, there will be no economy.

The criminality in #Tallaght tonight is never justified. But using the incidents to condemn an entire community is so wrong and out of touch with reality. Make an effort to understand the consistent, entrenched disadvantage that parts of Dublin face before spouting ignorant bias.

Our parents knew that their homes were for the long term, so getting to know neighbours, building local groups and investing time and effort in the community was a top priority. Now, generation rent, with no certainty about the future, simply won't invest that time.

How's that for global solidarity? Aer Lingus flight EIN9018, staffed by volunteers, about to land on the other side of the world, to collect PPE from China. Before doing it all over again! Imagine a world where this kind of care and solidarity was our norm, not the exception.

Dissapointing from Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil voting down the bill to lower the voting age to 16 for local and EU elections. Obviously afraid of that vote going to Sinn Féin as per opinion polls but unwilling to put in the work to win them over -as should be the norm in a democracy.

Just think about that. It's actually chilling. A major fossil fuel company is stopping people who should be THE most vocal on climate change from saying anything. I'm actually much more angry about this now than I was before! Please, alumni and social entrepreneurs, speak up.
