Glorious venue for the @laetaredublin Christmas concert. I’ve never been in Whitefriar St church before - what a beauty!

Eoghan, they didn't put FF and FG in power -the electorate did and have done so again yesterday. Greens had a choice, sit it out or go in knowing full well how it would likely end.
They chose an opportunity to get things done over getting reelected.
Great turnout at @foeireland @DCUClimate and Stop Climate Chaos #ge24 hustings on climate. And what an amazing venue @RIAdawson
Great lineup of speakers. Do tune in…
📣 Tune in live to our climate & environment hustings tomorrow at 9.30am, co-hosted with @foeireland and @SCC_Ireland.
With just over a week to go until #GE24, hear from party representatives on their climate action plans.

Excellent overview of what's coming for Ireland - including a nice shout out to @conor_mcnally for his video on why climate change should be a key election issue in #GE24
No easy way to chart this... How Ireland's future climate is shaping up... The indicators from research coinciding with #COP29 and threat of AMOC collapse that should be raised when politicians land on your doorstep @MetEireann @climpeter irishtimes.com/environment/c…
Excellent video from @conor_mcnally - the climate is on the ballot in #GE24
