I'm off!
It's a shame, I've been on Twitter for nearly 20 years. Really valued the info, fun and debate.
There was always abuse, but that's grown and grown until it feels like there's little else left now.
I'll still be posting and engaging elsewhere (links below).

If interested, I've got the username pidgeondublin over on Instagram, TikTok, BlueSky, LinkedIn and Facebook. Also you can always get me via email on michael@pidgeon.ie
I'll probably just leave this account in place as an archive, but won't be posting.

I always try to reply and engage where I can online (especially with people who don't agree), but the tone of this place (and now the criminal, disgusting things they let their AI be used for) means it won't be here anymore.
Take care!

Playgrounds make for good childhoods.
A brilliant new one in Chapelizod opened today.
More of this for #Dublin!

Engineers Ireland are calling for 2:1 spending on public transport to be brought back in to reduce congestion and car dependency.
It was introduced by the Greens and removed by FF & FG in this government resulting in delays to projects like DART and Luas Finglas.
ALT Engineers seek restoration of public transport spending priority Heavy reliance on private cars for travel cannot continue, Engineers Ireland warns

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Ireland's only supervised injection centre has been open for nearly a year. It's reduced overdose deaths, public injecting, and needle dumping on our streets.
They're now applying for long-term planning permission and I'm backing it 100%.

Supervised injection facilities save lives. This one is no different.

Delighted that my nomination as Green Party Candidate for Galway West By-election has now been ratified by the party executive. Looking forward to working with members and supporters in the campaign ahead.

Traffic in Dublin has gotten crazy the past few weeks. But the new government is taking money away from public transport projects that could deal with it.
We could have had a new DART station and improved lines at Heuston and Kylemore Road in Ballyfermot. But no. Roads instead.

The NTA have been slow to respond to the problems with the 80 bus route, but I met them this morning and there is some progress...

📻 I'll be on @DrivetimeRTE at 4:45pm on why a hotel bed tax is a good idea.
Two thirds of EU states have them. Even a tiny 1% charge would raise €12m a year in Dublin City alone - improving the city for tourists and residents alike.

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads.
The exact opposite direction we should be going.
(Plus: the more you delay projects, the more they cost. Every time.)

DART South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.
