Public Meeting: Working Together for Climate Action
Whatever the problem, community is the solution! If we are to address the challenge of climate change, then we must work together!
Join me on at 7:30pm April 10th in The Graduate to share your ideas on how we as a community can work together to tackle climate change.
I’ve invited Eamon Ryan TD, Emer Burton and Dan Hatter to discuss the practical & community actions we can take to effectively tackle climate change.

Bank of Ireland’s sponsored tweet, in which they appeared to be encouraging people to move back in with their parents in order to be able to save the deposit for their first home, has caused a great deal of controversy. The tweet has since been deleted.
