These fires are not result of tourists. They are result of a lack of enforcement, a failure to prioritise wildlife, a Govt that incentivises wrong land uses & turns blind eye to illegal actions of a few, that impacts on so many "There's none so blind as those who will not listen

I am sick and tired of @CaseyPeterJ using our electoral system for his rascist rants. Ireland is an inclusive, progressive country and your dog whistles don't belong here. Oh, and btw, Peter, are you paying taxes yet?

It would be negligent to further facilitate the growth of #DataCentres in the absence of any strategic analysis of their environmental impact. Govt cannot allow a free for all that will make meeting our #Climate targets impossible via @businessposthq

How is it acceptable for some to put people's lives at risk, destroy our wildlife, pollute our waterways and air? Do the people who do this even give 2 seconds to think about the impact they are having on their neighbours?

* Children need schools to stay open. Teachers should be safe in their workplace. Both of these statements are true. If Govt had invested properly in HEPA, PPE, antigen testing & supports for schools, then these divisive conversations we seeing currently would not be happening

As a former Chair of BoM of a primary school, I know how incredibly difficult it is to a) hire teachers due to shortages b) make physical changes to a building (it took us nearly a yr to organise an extra portacabin). Interested to see the plans for the school reopening tomorrow

Politicians personal lives, home and family should never be the target of intimidation or threats, no matter the political persuasion. There can be no place in our democracy or our community for this, and we will be on a very slippery slope if we tolerate it in any form.

Shameful scenes from Roscrea today. There can never be any justification for terrorising young children and those involved should take a long, hard look at themselves.

Two things have become clear over the course of Covid. One is that when there is no childcare, women are left holding the baby. The second is that women can no longer hold the baby and hold down a job. We need to get childcare right for families. #CovidChildcareCommittee

This can no longer be tolerated. These fires are dangerous, put our fire fighters at risk, and cause enormous damage to our already threatened wildlife. This can no longer be accepted by some as part of the annual cycle.
