Galway-Limerick train line has been the fastest growing rail service in Ireland, in terms of passenger numbers. We're looking forward to reopening more of the WRC. Good to welcome @BrianLeddin from Limerick to Galway today!

Thanks to @niallgalway @MartinaGp5 @OwenHanleyLives and Colette Connolly for voting against the revocation of the cycle lane. Spend a billion on a planet burning road seems to be no problem, but amending a temporary lane and trialling it and you are set upon.

So if the two Councillors mentioned in this article who voted against Salthill, will work to get a cycle lane that they can support over the line quickly (the money's there), I will work with them and back them 3/3

JR - this morning the High Court granted leave to hear and has halted work on Galway Ring Road until the Judicial Reviews have been heard. This is good news considering the fact that both councils had been moving ahead with CPO despite the time to take a JR not having elapsed

This majestic floating wind turbine is one of 100 in a farm I visited this weekend. It was a rare opportunity to take a trip by boat 50 kilometres off the coast, to see first hand the possibilities for Ireland of producing our own green energy #RenewableEnergy #MorayEast

Great to see whopping increase for business from cycling routes. 38% increase in footfall in Dún Laoghaire, and 5 fold increase in cyclists. This could be Salthill

One lane of traffic was reclaimed to create a new cycle route from Blackrock to Sandycove. Work took eight weeks and resulted in the number of cyclists using the route increasing from 4,000 to 20,000. There was also a 38% increase in footfall in Dún Laoghaire during this period.

Interesting that Lisa's discovered the potential of wind energy just when she is about to run for election! What she hasn't discovered however are the facts. Floating offshore offers huge potential but industry experts say the technology isn’t ready for West. Back to school Lisa!

I'm really proud of Galway. Pushing ahead with a temporary cycle lane in Salthill had some bumps in the road, and false narratives, but we've got there. Next year Salthill will be transformed. Let's use the opportunity! Thanks to @GalwayCityCo and Uinsinn Finn in particular
