Our suburbs can lead the way in fighting climate change. You have one week to get a nomination in to Ireland’s greenest place competition. Recognising the good work going on by making a nomination, is a small act that could make a big difference in time. irishtimes.com/life-style/20…

Reducing road deaths and injuries requires better engineering from our local authorities. We should prioritise funding to those councils who are willing and able to build out safer routes in quicker time. #RoadSafety #Cycling #Pedestrianisation #QuietRoads irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…
