I have followed lots of people here over to where the skies are blue.....

What’s stopping Ireland from building the transport system we need? @tcddublin's Prof @brian_caulfield joins the Amplified podcast to talk infrastructure, political will, and why we must invest in metros, rail and skills to hit 2030 targets. 🎧 Listen: bit.ly/4kWCdO7

Sporting legend, Maeve Kyle, a trailblazer in Irish women’s athletics & Trinity alumna 1946–50 has passed away. She broke barriers as Ireland’s 1st female Olympian in 1956, was the 1st Irish triple Olympian competing in the 1960 & 1964 Olympic Games & earned 58 Irish hockey caps.

Once more for those in the back - Metrolink is not only an airport line It serves 15 other stations, connecting 127 schools, 3 universities, 5 hospitals, and making over 175k people and 250k jobs accessible by foot to a stop. An estimated 18% of passengers will use airport stop

I joined @hlinehan and @PatLeahyIT this morning on the @IrishTimes Inside Politics podcast to discuss yesterdays National Development Plan review launch irishtimes.com/podcasts/insid…

77% of NDP review submissions prioritised transport investment (low response rate) Metrolink's €2bn funding & support will see the project start construction, pending planning permission But the devil is in the detail, how will the rest of the €20bn be spent ..roads vs pt?

Colm McCarthy on @rtenews just now saying a full cost-benefit analysis hasn't been done on Metrolink.... its been done several times..... 100's of pages here on it: nationaltransport.ie/planning-and-i… Specifically the economic appraisal is here: nationaltransport.ie/wp-content/upl…

Govt inexplicably rolling back on key road safety plans. Why is this so difficult? Lowering speed limits is proven to save lives. Just look at Wales. Plans to lower 100kmh speed limits unravel as new AI cameras to spot drivers on phones stalled independent.ie/irish-news/pla…

My interview yesterday with @LNBDublin & @Feljin_J on the @TheHardShoulder on the Luas 2050 plans. newstalk.com/podcasts/highl…

This would be a game changer for the city, but it has taken 30+ years to deliver 45km of Luas, this map has 85km+ of new lines.. the pace of delivery will have to exponentially increase to deliver this plan in 25 years.. we last opened a new line in 2017 irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin…

This day 3 years ago I spoke to the Citizens' Assembly on a directly elected Mayor for Dublin. Despite overwhelming support from the Assembly, three years on what progress has been made despite this fantastic report: citizensassembly.ie/wp-content/upl…

Trinity climbs to 75th place in 2026 QS @worlduniranking up 12 places from last year, its highest ranking in a decade. The increase is due in large part to strong performance in the Academic Reputation and the Employer Reputation categories. Read more at tcd.ie/news_events/ar…
