Make Electricity Cheap Again. #ClimateAction #Electrification irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: This eight-point plan to make electricity cheap again could also help cut emissions

Switching to electricity to heat and cool our homes and power our industry is the most effective way of cutting emissions

Europe is caught between China and the US - but there are solutions. The way forward is to innovate and scale up in areas where we still have an advantage, taking our money out of the over-valued New York Stock exchange and investing more here at home. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

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/…

Local authorities must take centre stage in fight against rising toll of road deaths

We have designed roads to suit cars and trucks to the point where it is not safe to walk or cycle

Talking about how the Critical Infrastructure Bill undermines our climate law and will promote yet more car dependency rather than the investment we need in public transport. link.goloudplayer.com/s/pGm0…

Critical Infrastructure Bill is it bad for our climate targets?

Just when smart cities all over the world are moving away from the car, Galway is going all in, becoming more like a Texan city, wrapped in a shawl of roadside retail parks, paved parking lots and long-distance commutes. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: As smart cities reduce car use, Ireland goes all in

Critical Infrastructure Bill will be a disaster for Ireland’s climate commitments

If we get the right incentives in place, there will be a positive tipping point, where farmers show they are the “doers” and become the well-paid heroes of our climate transition irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: Climate under attack from those who thrive on the division of identity politics

Social media amplifies the problem, giving a megaphone to people who are angry about everything

I was proud to facilitate some of the sessions at a G7 meeting in Paris yesterday on methane action. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Motley gave an inspiring speech making the point that farmers would be among the most impacted, if we do not tackle climate change. #ClimateCoalition

The tools exist. The science is clear. What's left? Scale. At @G7fr Labelled Multi-Stakeholder Event on Methane Action, leaders from energy, waste, and agriculture came together not to debate what to do but how to move faster. 🔹@IEA released Methane Tracker 2026: iea.org/news/tackling-methan… 🔹@MethaneData announced expanded satellite alerts to coal and waste sectors: unep.org/news-and-stories/pr… 🔹 Countries, civil society, companies, and philanthropic donors showcased concrete actions already underway The @CCACoalition's newly launched Super Pollutants Country Action Accelerator is how we get to scale. ccacoalition.org/content/sup…

Not their first rodeo. The #AcceleratorEU plan has learnt lessons from our response to the last energy crisis. Reducing our dependency on fossil fuels by electrification, lowering power prices, more grid flexibility and promoting better clean technologies. linkedin.com/posts/eamon-rya…

Even of the war in Iran ends tomorrow, it should see us changing our energy system for good. The Irish Government should use our EU Presidency to pass new legislation, promoting more renewables, grid flexibility & lower prices, so we electrify everything. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: Ireland’s future energy needs must be met by renewables and nuclear

Critical effort must go into balancing both so we have a competitive, secure and affordable energy system

Don’t believe the negativity – Ireland’s retrofitting scheme for homes is not failing, in fact we are rated the best country in Europe when it comes to improving domestic energy efficiency irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: Ireland’s retrofitting scheme is not failing

Ask homeowners who have upgraded their homes if they would go back to a damp, cold house

Here is a link to the ‘Vacant to Vibrant Building Alliance’ report, which I believe the Government should implement. It would provide 120,000 more homes for our people while transforming our city and town centres for the better. igbc.ie/wp-content/uploads/2… irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

More than 1,500 intellectually disabled adults are living full-time with a parent who is over 70 years of age – and, of these, 450 live with a parent who is over 80. #BeforeWeDie irishtimes.com/health/your-w…

What’s to become of intellectually disabled people when caregiver family members die?

Lobby group Before We Die claims more than 1,500 such adults live full-time with a parent aged over 70

Three things I hope will be in the maritime defence plan due this week. 1 Naval bases in Dun Laoghaire & Rossaveal. 2 Use our marine energy experience to deploy new protection platforms, which also defend nature. 3 A new cadre of ‘play station sailors’. irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: Why Dún Laoghaire should have a full naval base

Sensitive fibre optic cables and gas pipelines are concentrated in the Irish Sea. We need to have a vessel patrolling the area immediately

A new Trans Atlantic electricity cable from the Shannon Estuary to Canada would be the best response to Mark Carney’s call for new connections in an increasingly divided world. #NorthSeasEnergyCooperation irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Eamon Ryan: Could Ireland be the connection point for a subsea super cable from Canada?

It would be both a source of power and a powerful symbol of the connections Canadian prime minister Mark Carney has talked about forging
