"Green" policies are destroying this country

Unfortunately the greens will have caused complete carnage by the next election.

Yes carnage for ordinary people who won’t be able to afford home heating should their boiler fail.

The Chinese & Indians are building coal fire power stations at a furious rate. Poland produces 70% of its power from the filthiest of coal (lignite). And the Poles have told Brussels to go stuff themselves.

And here we are, a mere speck in the global problem, going to cripple our country in order to be seen to be good boys.

The Greens will get zero seats in the next election.

It is astounding that all the media (tv & press) give the Greens such a sympathetic ride. No hard questions asked of them.

We are sleepwalking into a disaster.

You seem to overlook that almost the entire political body in Ireland has embraced green policies, I have not singled out the Greens for attention. Are you trying to tell me Eamon Ryan was stored in stasis between 2011 & 2020? How did Ireland become the second country to declare a climate emergency back in 2019? That was the most underhanded attack on democracy ever in this country, its intent is to be leveraged by groups using lawfare to force their will on the country and open the door for judges to create law, rather than interpret it.

As regards Eamon Ryans competence, he needs to be stripped of the energy portfolio right now before he does us any further damage. I suspect the Greens have no scruples about the current situation, their intention has been to price Irish people out of the market and prevent them consuming fossil fuels in Ireland. The other political parties can reap what they sowed at the hands of the voters.

The greens have lost the plot, the latest proposals for gas/oil boilers should consign them to history,the proposed ban on replacement/repair of older boilers is a new proposal, it will cost citizens tens of thousands, there is absolutely no sense in replacing a 12 year old well maintained/serviced boiler unless you have money to burn or get it done for free.

The greens appear to be trying to outgreen each other,is there some type of internal power struggle going on ? is ER trying to appeal to the zealots in his party? we have observed how the Tories have destroyed the reputation of the UK when they put the party before country, the greens seem intent to follow the same path.

The days of the sane voter giving them a lower preference on the ballot should be long gone,(and I say that as someone who did exactly that).We all have to remember that the harmless greens are no more, starve them of transfers.

The proposal to ban replacement gas and oil boilers is utter lunacy and indeed carnage for ordinary citizens. Those heat pumps are absolutely useless in homes not designed for them. It will cost people tens of thousands in forced retrofitting that they can't afford. Utter lunacy.

Such as not building anymore fossil fuel infrastructure.

Great policy 🙄

how soon till we can wipe out the greens in the next election ....

A great policy to impoverish people post 2025?

This is the smugness of the green movement. They'd love to see people sitting in the freezing cold unable to heat their homes, purely for idealogical purposes.
