Ireland is three years past deadline to send long-term climate strategy to European Union
The government has repeatedly fallen short of promises to get the important strategy finished

Happy #StPatricksDay2023 from St Patrick's Square, Edinburgh, 1914☘️In the background below the spire, the original row of 18th c. tenements of St Patrick Street, for which the square is named. But why was a street in Presbyterian Edinburgh named for the Irish patron saint? 🧵👇
Well the simple answer is it probably wasn't. It was most likely named for Patrick Tod, a local merchant and landowner. It wouldn't be the first or second saintly Edinburgh placename to have a strictly civic root; see also St. James's Square and St. Ann Street 😇
Those original tenements - demolished in the 1930s - had been built in 1782 by the late James Carfrae, the proprietor of a suburban house and garden known as Cabbagehall.
On #StPatricksDay2023 I want to shout out to my compatriots from #Ireland producing some of the most incisive, compelling, and agenda-setting scholarship in global constitutional law today. Read them, follow them, connect with them.
A loooong (but very incomplete) thread 🧵

A few quick starting notes for a global audience.
I often think constitutional law research by Irish scholars is so rich because of our unique context, in a constitutional system that has one foot in colonialism and conflict, and one (today) in the rich Global North.

#Ireland's war of independence, civil war, 1922 Constitution, partition, and 1937 Constitution (still in force) sets our experience apart from the gradualist constitutional development of e.g. #Canada, #Australia, #NewZealand, but has commonalities with other states (e.g. India).
