Unfortunately Micheรกl Martin didn't make any new commitments to protect Irish waters at #UNOC2025 Countries are announcing ambitious new plans throughout the week and we hope that this will encourage others to follow. However, good news as more countries ratify the #BBNJ

Coillte's outdated commercial mandate must be changed if the government has any real ambition to Restore Nature and reduce land use emissions. Promises were made to farmers that the government would lead from the front with #PublicLand Martin Heydon agriland.ie/farming-news/nโ€ฆ

This picture depicts a devastating scene that conservationists are seeing up and down the country this breeding season. Lots of hard work is going into protecting these birds; working with farmers, landowners, and collaboration with other conservation groups. We are now

All national wolf culls within the EU should be subject to legal challenge if they are not demonstrably compatible with achieving Favourable Conservation Status, as required under the EU Habitats Directive.

"Government policy on nitrates is designed to fail, but to keep the derogation regardless. The policy is to sacrifice water quality where it cannot be improved with modest interventions, to support agricultural exports." Martin Heydon Christophe Hansen irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0โ€ฆ

"The farmers are substantially compliant with the regulations that are there. So what the situation requires is either a big change to the rules, or to help farmers to farm in a different wayโ€ We are fed so much nonsense the truth sounds like a revelation independent.ie/farming/news/oโ€ฆ

And just like that, another EU Environmental proposal goes on the bonfire of regulation. This time, the EU Commission, with the help of EPP, has killed the Green Claims Directive, a measure supposed to give consumers confidence in purchasing sustainable products. #greenwashing

By siding with the far right to block the #GreenClaims Directive, the EPP Group undermines every company that invested in the green transition in good faith. What message does that send about Europeโ€™s credibility?
