On this winter day you might enjoy this old John Hinde postcard of the sun terraces of Dun Laoghaire.

Wow! Almost a 50% drop in greenhouse gas emissions in the EU energy sector over the last decade.

That's a huge leap forward, but we'll have to ramp up our investment in grids to continue this progress in the years ahead. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/...

მოძრაობა სოციალური დემოკრატიისთვის is Georgia's Movement for Social Democracy.

Together with Benedetta di Marte, we had a super meet-up with board members Sopho Verdzeuli and Vano Abramashvili today. Protecting nature and supporting democracy are key values that @europeangreens.eu support.

A long old travel day today, with a stormy view of Dublin's Poolbeg lighthouse this morning.

Urban planner here: Jared Kushner's blueprint for Gaza's building is a car-dependent comedy of errors that would replicate the worst planning mistakes of the last 100 years, best avoided. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Dreary weather, but enjoyed my visit to Trinity today to meet with @marcuscollier.bsky.social and his students from the Masters in Smart and Sustainable Cities course.

Boy, what a building to study in.

Trump’s foreign policy is all about oil and intimidation. Europe’s answer must be energy autonomy built on cheap solar and wind power, energy efficiency, and a strong green industry. europeangreens.eu/news/davos-t...

Two years ago the EU’s Anti-Coercion instrument came into force. Its purpose? To deter economic threats from abroad. Here’s hoping calm heads prevail, and that it will not be needed. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

A hard-hitting report on Ireland’s overcrowded prisons from Mark Kelly, Inspector of Prisons. Many are over-crowded with inhumane and degrading conditions. We need to focus less on incarceration, and more on conflict mediation and restorative justice. www.oip.ie/newly-publis...

Nice to see light in the upstairs windows of the GPO as @RTE.ie marks a century of broadcasting.

With AnPost.ie moving out it could be a great broadcasting venue for the next 100 years... www.rte.ie/news/2026/01...

So a judge says "Cyclists have become a nightmare in Dublin?"

Actually cycling is much more of a nightmare rather than cyclists. We need to focus on making walking and cycling safer on our streets.

The Iranian regime has been particularly repressive to women - whose voices are being finally heard on the streets in recent days.

The European Union must act now with targeted sanctions.

Good to see #IranProtests on the streets of Dublin, the crowd chanting 'Down with the Dictator!'

A sign reads: “No internet, no freedom, stop killing our women.”

In 1997 James Franey gave Halliday Square Park in Stoneybatter to the people of Dublin.

Thanks to the Lord Mayor of Dublin for honouring his generosity today. plaquesofdublin.ie/coming-up/ja...

"The future of Greenland is up to its people, not to Trump."

Can't quite believe that it is a year since we said this:

Improvements for cyclists on Gardiner Street?

Anything to replace the slap of paint that’s there now would be welcome! www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Big Zapple is looking good today.

Best of luck to New York City's Mayor Zohran Mamdani in taking on a tough job.

A tough year for many, with too many setbacks on climate action and human rights. Thanks for staying connected in 2025. Let’s raise a glass to much-needed progress next year.
