Tramore canvass today! No sun but it's not raining thankfully ☀️

Great to have Tramore native Grace O'Sullivan MEP with us yesterday. She gave a brilliant talk to our 5th and Transition Year students on her years in Greenpeace and her road to politics.

The National Biodiversity Data Centre plays a critical role in our collective effort to conserve and restore nature.

Today I met with Liam Lysaght and the team to discuss their ongoing work and future plans. Thanks to Liam, staff and board.

We were delighted to welcome Minister for Nature, Heritage & Electoral Reform, Malcolm Noonan TD, to our official Garter Lane Studios building launch on Friday 3 May 2024 at 5 O'Connell Street.

A momentous occasion for the  Board, Management Team and Staff.

(AL) We are continuing to receive calls about oiled #seabirds , primarily Guillemots, from all along the #Wicklow and #Wexford coast. If you find an oiled seabird in the coming days, do not touch it. This is for your own safety. Instead, follow the steps below 👇

Barriers in rivers act like blocked and clogged arteries in humans; they slowly kill.

When they are taken away, life returns in droves and water quality improves.

Losing biodiversity means losing the fight against climate change.

Losing the Nature Restoration Law means Europe losing the fight against biodiversity loss AND climate change.

We can't let that happen, 🇪🇺 countries must adopt this game-changing law!

#RestoreNature

(AL) 🧵(1/4) Oiled seabirds, including Guillemots, are being reported along the #Wicklow and #Wexford coastline. The source of this oil has yet to be established but we understand that the Irish Coast Guard is investigating this at present.

On Your Bike! 😂

“The real problem of our farmers is they don’t have a decent income. The profits go to the agro industry, they go to the supermarkets, they determine the prices and not the farmers,” said Bas Eickhout of the European Green Party.

#MaastrichtDebate

“Europe is at a crossroads: We have to choose between continuing the Green Deal or fossil standstill. For a strong or a divided Europe. For democracy or autocracy.
We need you to fight for a strong, Green and social Europe – #ChooseCourage !”
