A special episode where Darragh has a chat with Irish wildlife expert Éanna Ní Lamhna.

The episode was recorded on a very calm day aboard the Ku-ee-tu, moored on Lough Derg just outside of Dromineer, Co. Tipperary.

The interview was an event organised by Nenagh Dromineer Literary Festival, and the podcast was recorded with funding from Green Foundation Ireland. Thanks to both organisations for having us

The team are back together to chat about COP 30 which just finished up in Belem at the mouth of the mighty Amazon. Darragh, Anna and Ciara look at the highlights and lowlights of this year's Conference of the Parties and wonder why 56,000 people needed to be there.

Commitment to the Paris Agreement is still hanging on, Just Transition is featuring more strongly and Adaptation to climate change is now in the mix. But climate action is still falling short and fossil fuels are off the hook again.

What about the Irish response? Taoiseach Micheal Martin made a rousing speech at COP, quickly followed by advocating for new fossil fuel infrastructure back at home.

Is there ANY good news out there? We find some stories that make us happy. Puffins and more puffins!
