"Green" policies are destroying this country

Air tight houses are supposed to have heat recovery ventilation systems. These have a heat exchanger that takes heat from exhausted stale air and use it to heat fresh incoming air. There are no health hazards if a sealed house uses one of these, which by default, they should.

I thought about getting one 20 years ago but decided not to.

Absolutely fantastic that the green lunacy can continue unabated and well heeled green voters can get money off their already affordable for them upgrades.

Well they won't be using them to build offshore windfarms because every competent player in that field have Ireland's number. The wheels have come off that glorious green vision you subscribe to. There is no solution to this as Ireland will never be smart enough to fix the planning system.

At least I won't have to worry about 3 time nuclear strike price for offshore wind driving up electricity even more and the Dublin coastal dwellers won't have to worry about their views being spoiled.

It`s almost amusing the self-awareness issues with greens and planning.

Bemoaning the problems with planning permission in relation to renewables when their own party leader and a government Minister is shouting off his mouth at every opportunity to influence a planning application. And their two litigious wings, An Taisce and Friends of the Irish Environment, both registered as Charities and Companies Limited by Guarantee, have been running a coach and four through planning for years.

Nothing unusual in that unfortunately. Just the usual green hypocrisy.

I may have missed it, but the only two Ministers I heard announcing this electricity credit was the Minister for Finance, and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

According to your post earlier the Green Party`s contribution to lowering energy bills is adding more carbon tax.

As i have said here before, "sums" is so lost on them they do not even understand basic addition and subtraction.

A certain poster that is here cheering on carbon taxes when the exchequer is shelling out billions to lower energy charges cannot even recognise the contradicting irony when it is biting him in the ass.

The irony of now being snookered by the same planning minutia he was gloating about doing the same to planning proposals he, (and by coincidence the party he does not support and has never apparently voted for), has opposed is probably lost on him as well.

Amusing to watch all the same.🤣

what good news

If you or the greens were using logic then I might just see your point, but really for you and the Irish Green Party logic is a planet far far from here.

Your latest that Ryan is responsible for these measure to curb energy charges while he is still insisting on carbon taxes speaks for itself where logic is concerned. Your latest "good news" on re-wetting land to stock it with water buffalo after the greens threatening to collapse the government on cattle numbers if they did not get their way while Brazil increase theirs by 24 million defied any logic even before this latest "good news" and must have the E.U. Commissioner for Agriculture not just questioning the logic of Irish greens, but the sanity.

But then in the E.U. he is not likely to be alone in that I imagine there are others head scratching on the Irish greens position on LNG which is an approved E.U. transitional energy source for a country that is not even in compliance with the E.U on energy security.

For yourself there are a fair few bowsies that defy logic. Your recent idea that somehow a loan from the European Investment Bank was free money being just one example, but there have many others. Not the least of your support for Ryan`s logic on a community of less than 500 being legally permitted to sell or gift turf while for a community of 501 to do so would be illegal was closer to insanity than logic. But there have been many more examples of that. Wolves and lynx running wild being just two of them. For yourself we had you one day supporting a one man and his dog protest to a gas fired plant in Galway and a few days later posting more "good news" on extra gas fired plants.

All of that is not even touching on the Irish Green Party or their supporters understanding of basic mathematics on costing of their wish list or the economic damage their agenda will do to the country. The Irish Green Party do not do logic. They do ideology where logic is not even a distant consideration. For your good self, unfortunately logic is every bit as distant and your posts are nothing other that total unquestioned parroting of that agenda.
