    Exactly. Everyone always says what about China, when we are bigger polluters per capita than the Chinese and we are the ones buying the rubbish from them to fuel their economy. It's a global problem that no one can ignore.
    And you can't consume your way out of these problems either by buying green products, that's just more consumption in a different way. We need to think about things differently. It's like those reusable cups etc, just use a cup you already bloody own instead of buying another one.

    Indeed, "green economy" "green jobs" its just marketing, use what you have until it falls apart, then buy green.

    Eamon Ryan and to a lesser extent Saoirse McHugh are toxic to the Green Party and cost them allot of votes in the election.

    With the global green wave you’d expect the greens to be in the top three parties but in reality while they did increase seats they are poorly represented with seats.

    Eamon’s talk of carpooling and releasing wolves made him toxic in rural Ireland. Saoirse just comes across as a stoner with no real grasp on reality.

    Councillors arent much better, Hazel "everyone is racist" Chu for example.

    If rural Ireland don't like the greens, and blame FG for all their current woes, who do they actually support? FF?

    Just on the suggestion that S McHugh is "a stoner with no grasp on reality.

    She has a Bachelor of Science Degree from University College Dublin and a Masters in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security from Lancaster University.

    She is definitely more in touch with the reality of rural life than a lot of her party. She was at odds with some of her own party's policies.

    You will now of course be able to link to tweet or similar where she said "everyone is racist" right?

    I've only seen her calling out actual racist tweets against her on twitter, some of them are horrible.
