    I will leave this here. As Lord Mayor of Cork I want to state emphatically that Cork remains a city of welcomes, a city of inclusion. A city that has become better and stronger because of the experiences and traditions of the many who have chosen to work, learn and live among us.

    If Ireland had the same population density as The Netherlands we would have 45 million people living on this island. #IrelandisfarfromFull

    Controversial opinion here. Irish politics, while far from perfect, operates to far better standards than those found in the UK or the US.

    The dream is becoming reality. So great to see this. This is how Cork City Centre can be and should be. Between the two rivers you'll know where we'll meet on Princes Street.

    Attended a presentation from Finnish professor who helped define its Housing First policy. He compared Finland with Ireland, countries with similar populations. Ireland doesn't compare well.

    I've had a minor accident on my bike this morning. Some cuts and bruises. My face has been somewhat rearranged. Some kind people sat with me as an ambulance I didn't want checked me out. The shock didn't allow me to thank them properly.

    Can someone explain why so many car drivers, unaffected by age or disability, have an expectation to park directly outside of where they going? Why such reluctance to walk any kind of distance at all?

    85% of electricity on the island of Ireland is being produced through wind generation right now.

    Love this. Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr. Colette Finn claiming the parking space in the City Hall 'car' Park for her bike.

    Cycle lanes are not being put in place for experienced cyclists. They are more for those who have been frightened off cycling by dangerous traffic, and for those yet to cycle that cycling can be a better alternative to travel. #OnOurBikes

    Average car occupancy is about 1.5 persons per vehicle. Most car journeys involve carrying only the driver and rarely anyone or anything else. Cars are used for the majority of journeys 2km and under. Seriously why do we bother so much with cars?

    A lot of Russian bots on my Twitter timeline. One is even pretending to be an MEP from Wexford....
