As these new insights in climate science show, we’re not on track to staying below 1.5 °C & the risk of crossing these tipping points increases exponentially with each further tenth of a degree rise. We need to mitigate the hell out of climate change fast.

One of the most frightening climate studies I’ve read. Scientists believe one ‘tipping point’ we could cross soon is a switch off of the ‘Atlantic meridional overturning circulation’ #AMOC . Temperatures would dramatically drop here, leaving us frozen, while the wider world burns.

The All-Island Strategic Rail Review is not only an investment in Transport, it’s an investment in housing. Our proposed plans will place 700,000 more people within 5km of a train station.

The DART is coming to Maynooth. Great to see this progress on the DART+ programme. When fully completed, the number of people living within 1km of a DART station will increase from 250,000 to 600,000.

Good news today for EV drivers. We’re putting in 17 banks of super fast chargers on our motorways -131 chargers in total. The average distance between fast chargers will be 45 km. This is just the first step. More to come before the end of 2025. 👇

Today the DART turned 40. It has become a loved part of the city, hugging the Bay from Malahide to Greystones. Looking to the future, it’s set to double in size as part of DART+. And we will also go to Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford with commuter lines.

Questioned by @HannahEDaly at @MacGillSchool . It is true we have only a few short years to cut carbon emissions & have a 50% change of keeping global average temperature increases below 1.5 degrees.

Took a number of memos to Cabinet yesterday including new legislation to scrap motor & insurance discs, and to allow for more streamlined sharing of data on collision spots. New laws will allow sharing of road crash data and scrap the paper motor tax disc
