Our first project, a renovation at Emmet Hall Inchicore is complete. These walls have been the backdrop to some of our most important historical events for workers' rights. I am excited for the community to use and enjoy the space once more. #renovateDublin8 #loveInchicore

I talked about my experience at @common_k_ for an @image_interiors piece on self building. Ireland has a long tradition of people building their own homes with the help of neighbours and friends. We need the meitheal for flourishing communities and climate ready homes. #DIY #DIT

The working group will be using the @SOA_ie Roadmap for Community Led Housing published last year. It's a fantastic resource to help co-operatives meet specific local housing needs via collaboration, empowerment and mutual support.

Cycling is the only mode of transport that can compete with cars for doing business in urban areas. Speed, flexibility, door to door service, and lots of capable riders. With the right infrastructure, the bike will be the obvious choice for many more businesses. Watch session ⬇️

📢A protest in 1991 to stop heavy traffic using Inchicore as a short cut. Without interventions to remove through traffic, bypasses are routinely ignored by motorists. They fail to deliver "traffic alleviation" nor safe space for 🚲🚶‍♀️🚊 Just ask us, we built a bypass in 1956.

💥Thrilled to partner with Little Deer Comics! They'll bring gorgeous graphic novels, zines and workshops to Emmet Road. The next Dublin Comic Arts Festival is also coming to Inchicore very soon--watch this space 🚀
Little Deer is moving! Our short term lease at Maureen’s is up in February so we’re packing up and moving to Inchicore! 122 Emmet Road D08 KX68 to be exact! Sad to leave Stoneybatter but happy that this Little Deer experiment gets to continue across the river!
