well for some. My car is covered with ash from neighbours' fires. Only washed a couple of weeks ago. tires cleaner than the bonnet.

People doing that are killing people. Iran and northern Italy have terrible air pollution and that is thought to be what us behind their death rates.

They both have a lot of smokers.

Could that be a factor?

The Netherlands kept there villages and cities and didn’t allow one off housing. And urban sprawl.


With proper urban planning 10 million us very possible and feasible

The Netherlands is a mostly horrible urbanised sh1thole with very little wild, green spaces and almost no expanse of natural countryside. What kind of an environmentalist would advocate for this?

Eamon Ryan is a complete bliddering omadáin. Anyone that would vote for this tool of a party with him at the helm is defo smoking the good shhtuff.

I seriously cannot believe that someone with their full wits about them, could come up which such half-baked and stupid ideas. Is he serious, or just having a laugh?

Eamon was trying to make the point that we should support local business and keep ourselves busy through the virus crisis.

Why he needed to do it in such an hilarious, if impassioned way, is known only to him.

He's a ludicrous champagne socialist virtue signaller with terrible ideas. His party was recently advocating that the population of our island should be increased to 10 million.

His hero 'our' current President Higgins has very similar ideas, but fortunately no real power.

Despite that, the greens are easily the best of the left

Definitely. The advice here is to quit right away because of it.

Haven’t seen that at all. Hardly any point at this stage anyway is there?

well you will see it if you Google. It is worth doing. Your blood pressure goes down right away and after a few weeks you start to regain the ability to clear crap from your lungs. social distancing means you can go through the withdrawal without acting like a lunatic in front people too.

It’s worthwhile doing regardless but giving up now will be no extra protection against this.

You can change personal behaviours if you want to do that. The Greens only want to tax you without changing anything.

His idea behind what he said was good, but how he said it made him appear mad in the Head.

People will need something to keep them occupied during this crisis, and no better way than getting around to finishing off all them jobs that need doing over the past 20 years

and if anyone is lucky enough to have a garden, then believe me there is nothing better than gardening and veg growing for keeping yourself mentally and physically well.

To finish all those things then people need to go to Woodies, etc. That should mean it’s a non runner from the start. Non essential.

True, but right now its still ok to go there once we all follow the correct precautions and proper distancing etc. So get all your materials and veg seeds now instead of the toilet rolls;)

Nobody being there would be better than any socially distanced queue.

You forgot to mention whAt he said that you have an issue with.

I’d a great time in the garden today , cleated it out , built raised beds , for planted fruit and veg. Kept the kids away from screen and off the streets.

I'm going to go out on a limb here - but you wouldn't happen to be... ah... middle class?

I do this ould craic myself. Maybe it is my middle class ****e coming out. But I don't harbour any of the posh hippy idealistic illusions that the Greens have that we can replace supermarkets and intensive agri. Those things are here to stay. Window box salads are nice extras.

Food for the wolves they want to reintroduce perhaps?
I'd give a higher preference to the Monster Raving Loony party.

You grow a few bits on the windowsill so you can go on in work to the other twats from Kildare about it. And then the mickey measuring about the size of the windowsills and amount of windows can begin.

Muahahaha

How many salads would you grow in a window box anyway, 3 or 4 at best. Might feed you for two days.

Somehow the idiot boy seems to think that windowsill salads are the answer to food shortages. All the while Ireland is the 2nd most secure nation in the world for food security, what a gobdaw he is.

He doesn't want to reintroduce wolves really though. Here is what he said

When asked if he would like to see wolves reintroduced to Ireland in his lifetime, Mr Ryan said: ‘Yeah, but first things first, we have to restore our peatlands. We have to build up a native and natural forest.

‘Currently we have a forestry model which is plantations, which is short of wildlife. It is going to take 40 to 50 years, forestry takes time. It is that sort of time frame not in the political time frame that it might happen in’, Eamon Ryan added.

So after 50 years of rewilding, wolves could be introduced, is what he suggested. Which would be great for the country's ecosystems.

Really we should be looking at giving back to nature and stopping the destruction of biodiversity, I expect to see more and more viruses as man destroys every last bit of nature on the planet.

i see that that is a subtler take on what was reported, TM, so fair enough

tell you what is even better than that, though-

an elected TD that doesn't have a ****in position on the reintroduction of wolves because they have never had the time to take a position on the reintroduction of wolves because they have other things to do with literally ever other minute of their working lives

that would be better

and id say the same of any green party member, id expect better of any one of them than feeding into the dreamy impractical stereotype
