Pleased to be at the @green_belt_for 40th anniversary. GreenBelt is a great company. I know will be part of the new €1.3bn forestry programme. Forestry is an ace up our sleeve in meeting our climate ambitions. I’m looking forward to the future of forestry #BackingRuralIreland

Irish centrist dads are middle class fascists. Their economic ideology is fascistic. But hey they like cycling and organic coffee.

Spoke to @FM104 earlier in the week about the decision to charge a fee per adult for the Christmas winterlight event in Merrion Square. It was free last year, and over 40,000 attended. It should have remained free. #DublinWinterLights #MerrionSquarePark @FG_DBS

Saw the #Bono #Surrender show @3olympiatheatre possibly best performance in any theatre, I’ve ever seen – drama, pace, fun, story-telling, poignancy & whole one-man Broadway musical thrown in too.I thought the book was sublime, but this show maybe even tops it. Outrageous talent!

She broke the glass ceiling at the start of this mandate. The first female elected President @EU_Commission. In my eyes, she’s more than that title. She is a bridge builder. Even in the face of a Russian War, energy crisis, pandemics & inflation @vonderleyen delivers. #Europe 🇪🇺
