Deeply disappointing that this Government has dropped game-changing rail projects for the Midlands, South-East and Mid-West.
These new and reopened rail lines would have given thousands of workers a realistic, affordable commuting option.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Voters aren’t drifting. They’re deciding.
The old certainties are slipping. The centre is stalling. The big parties are losing ground.
And the Greens are moving from 1.9% to 5.1%.
This is what happens when people stop voting out of habit and start voting for change.

My reaction to the 2025 Article 17 Report on the state of Ireland's habitats and species.
While some species are doing well, the overall state of habitats and freshwater ecosystems is not good.
Celebrating the derogation extension isn't a good look by govt.
