FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

I'm talking about whole house BER upgrades because that was what I initially posted about. You're the one trying to break it down further to move the goal posts. But sure, lets even go with your solar example. Average costs for a 3bed semi-d in Ireland *after* the SEAI grant are almost 6000euro[1]. That is completely out of the reach of the majority of struggling households in this country. They're not getting "low interest loans" in April 2023 for house renovations from any bank, if they were even capable of accessing credit in the first place.

And thats not just my subjective opinion, the reality of this situation been proven in the real world with uptake of BER renovations far below the government goals, as stated.

It would require very little creative thinking for the government to offer low interest loans to help households with this. Student loan programmes exist on wide scale like this in many countries, with similar long term goals to improve society while helping poorer people by providing access to credit. But the Greens here have never so much as suggested this, because, again, their goal very clearly isn't to care about anyone who isn't upper middle class and urban. Unfortunately.

You asked how the Greens are costing Irish people money, I gave evidence of them single handedly costing every Irish household 400-1500eur of their net income this year alone. The facts are very clear on the damage they're doing to the many struggling Irish people out there. And again, this isn't just my opinion - this is being reflected very clearly in their minuscule support level here at a time when Green parties are surging across Europe.

Nope, you brought up the Greenways as a major Green achievement since 2020. I casually mentioned the Galway one and the long delays. I don't blame the Greens for that at all. I have actually voted Green as a preference in the past. But let's park the Galway Greenway, it is small stuff and won't fix the Climate crisis. You're wriggling like a fish on a hook now and avoiding the questions I asked. You know, the big ones - the impactful ones. So parking the Galway Greenway can you please answer the following...

What have the Greens achieved since 2020? Specifically their high profile high impact plans around (a) Retrofits and (b) Emissions.

So you're not going to answer the questions. At least admit that. Your dishonest posting style makes you look very silly.

Yes, dishonest BA. Run away if you wish. I know you are afraid of facts.

The questions are simple. This might help jog your memory.

(a) Retrofits "Plan"

Scheme branded a 'failure' with just 89 homes retrofitted out of target of 62,500 (irishexaminer.com)

The Government’s marquee retrofitting scheme “has utterly failed”, with just 89 homes in the entire country completed out of a “pie in the sky” target of 500,000 homes.

Despite a need to retrofit 62,500 homes this year to remain on target, just 681 homes have so far been approved, it can be revealed.

(b) Emissions Targets

Ireland had highest increase in greenhouse gases in EU (irishexaminer.com)

Ireland had the highest increase in greenhouse gas pollution across the EU in the third quarter of last year compared to the same period the year before.

Ireland had highest EU greenhouse gas emissions per capita in Q2 last year – new report - Independent.ie

Ireland's emissions continue to rise despite hitting 79% of climate targets (irishexaminer.com)

So the answer to the question "What have the Greens achieved since 2020?" is....SFA

But but cycle lanes...

Excellent points You raise.

Another thing about the greens that bugs me: every day we are bombarded by ads about the war in Ukraine starvation in East Africa ( I think it’s a GOAL ad ). Yet here we are being told there are too many cattle, that a number must be slaughtered. This just doesn’t m make sense. Yes the slaughtered cattle can be shipped out to EA, but then there is a vacuum needing to be filled.

I find Your last paragraph very pertinent. I only hope the Greens are obliterated come the next election.

Wow that's amazing. What was the margin of error?

I don't know how FF went up a point but I think people have realised that the Housing for All Plan is all talk with no political will especially from FG ministers and Leo. All the signs are there - LDA is a joke (FG setup), Underspend on the budget, No reform of planning laws (FG task since New Politics) and ABP completely under-resourced, No focus on training more construction workers (FG task - Simon too busy with shiny Justice trinkets).

Wow, this the same Green Party that’s predicted to have no seats come the next election?

Save up money? How the hell can anyone save money in this excuse of a country? Try to save and the vultures ( revenue etc. ) hover overhead.

FG is in real trouble on these %s as it will struggle to get 10 seats in the next GE if that 15% plays out in reality. It was always going to have an effect but it seems that the people who get up early have decided to leave FG.
