Too many drivers share a hostility towards cyclists which is hard to understand. On a road where you must drive slow, this driver complains (using a phone) about being held up by a cyclist and the cyclist not using the Greenway.The greenway isn’t suitable for a speeding cyclist.

We love making our environments uglier with unnecessary signage in Ireland.

Just passed Glounthaune where a few hundred trees were being cut down along the train tracks. These have never been a health and safety problem before, why now?? Why is there a war on nature in Ireland? Depressing. @corkcitycouncil @IrishRail @pjcoogan @EcofactEcology

Excessive trees according to Cllr Des Cahill but never excessive cars. Too many of our Cllrs are utter failures when it comes to biodiversity loss and climate change. Let them know.

This won't be developed by the current owners due to their legal issues and how they've decided to abandon The Prism. How long do we need to wait to restore the Bonded Warehouses? The potential of the City is being choked by awol developers and a disinterested City Council.

Why are these bonded warehouses in the Port of Cork still being left rot? 200 years old this is irreplaceable priceless heritage When they're gone they're gone This vandalism under the not so watchful eye of the local authorities has to stop #DerelictIreland #HeritageMatters
