Eamon Ryan resigns before the General Election.

People who want to scare monger about climate change quote cherry picked weather extremes ad-nauseam to make their point, like last summers little heat wave that hit Sicily.

When it suit's, weather extremes provide unending examples of climate change, but when it doesn't suit, or the examples are counter the appeal to panic, some clever clogs will trot out some nonsesense about not using examples of weather to make statements about climate.

The hypocrisy is boring at this point.

And I'm sure the useless I'll informed criticism will continue.

The harm & damage he's done will last unfortunately.

No a large growing number are not.

A few are and they are mostly moving from the likes of PBP, SF etc. Let them off, the video flowing around of these radical view are a bunch of plonkers on social welfare with nothing better to do, like the last crusade of driving around Ireland attacking people installing water meters.

You are trying to say a political party is fixing elections and that is not the case. Never has been and never was

I know the current government introduced vastly more green measures than the GP were responsible for. There were a lot from EU directives for instance, or already agreed commitments.

However, having a green minister for transport never sat well with me. I'm firmly anti green party and have been for years, despite being what should be their target base, 3 EVS outside and solar panels on the roof. I'm well over 100k into green initiatives. They (along with the rest of the government) are too prone to too much stick and not enough carrot approach, as well as giving incorrect carrots that simply waste taxpayer money and not getting any return. Punishing people blindly is not the way to achieve change. Adequately and correctly funding alternatives is the best way but we don't see this.

…keep an eye on aging demographic, if you think your pension fund is gonna be able to support you as you age, you might wanna think again, and also keep an eye on our health system deterioration, thankfully theres enough young folks just to keep it all going, again, as you age!

irelands an excellent place to live, for those whos critical needs are currently being met, i.e. health care and housing etc, it isnt exactly amazing if theyre not, i.e. many younger folks!

i love it here, just like you i love this country, but i also realise, if you dont bring people along, particularly younger folks, you end up like japan, i.e. selling more adult nappies than children's nappies, and ultimately stagnation, so be very careful what you wish for there!

You've received 10s of thousands in subsidies for EVs and Solar panels, and likely fuel costs too for your cars, and you're talking about too much stick not enough carrot?

Do you want a whole carrot farm or something.

Imaginary stuff they seen on TikTok/Twitter I would expect

Mary-Lou's position has to be shaky then, so.

But those figures do not show the average rainfall.

If you really believe that then congratulations - the fearmongering online has successfully misinformed you.

Spain and rest of Mediterranean Europe is not 40 Celsius for most of summer, not even close. The world is not burning down, the bad news that always happened is just being reported more now because scary bad news = more clicks and more ad revenue
