In and around Deputy Fitzmaurice blowing a gasket live on-air, I did manage to squeeze in a few points relating to #flooding and nature-based solutions last night.
For those secretly happy that climate change was going to make Ireland toasty & give us more ice cream days, this week's floods should be a wake-up call. Meanwhile our govt is advancing plans for new LNG gas terminals. No new fossil fuel infrastructure please!

As Helen McEntee takes up her new role as Minister for Foreign Affairs, the most urgent item in her in-tray must be passing the Occupied Territories Bill. This must be passed as a priority, urgently & in full. Spain passed their legislation in four weeks. Why has it taken Ireland over 7 years?

Pass the #OTB today!
This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it?
Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying.

Here are some of the lesson’s learned from Europe’s coal collapse 👇
