@ciarannugent Actually it's being eaten up by grid constraints. Do your research man or stop commenting on stuff you know nothing about. 13% of potential generation lost due to dispatch down orders in 2025

Ireland has a low share of renewable energy production and growing production is being eaten up by datacentres

@ciarannugent You are right. It is driven by SNSP limits on the grid. We need a far greater synchronous generation share on the grid. Solar panels aren't helping balance the grid

High relative electricity prices in Ireland are not driven by taxation

@ciarannugent So you're saying if a Muslim was randomly stabbed on the street simply because they are Muslim, the media would cover it? 🤔 Can you give an example?

If there was a violent assault on Muslims in the UK, it would never occur to anyone in the media to cover it in the first place They've erased the Muslim victim in the exact same story under discussion

@susanob0 @thejournal_ie Yeah sure let's invest in technology that doesn't exist.

@thejournal_ie Maybe...but it could cost around 10 billion.. we need to be invested in the production of wave energy.

Poll: Should Ireland lift the ban on nuclear power? jrnl.ie/7031411

@businessposthq *and in most major cities in the developed and developing world

By any measure, MetroLink is one of the most significant infrastructure projects the state has ever undertaken. It is ambitious, complex and long-term by design businesspost.ie/analysis-opini…

@BarryAndrewsMEP @thejournal_ie @fiannafailparty @Renew_Press You don't need to rely on some green data analyst to work out the power generation share in Ireland as eirgrid already collate it. And a simple check of this would have told you on Paddy's day it was 66% renewables not 90%. Please correct the article!

📰 READ: my piece in @thejournal_ie on why the future of Ireland must be renewable and electric.

@IrishmanIRL Still a lot cheaper than keeping them in prison or social housing

Deportation madness Deportion flight in January cost taxpayer €151,000 for 33 foreign criminals , 20 straight from prison Those on board had 1,000 criminal charges between them for sex offences, drug supply and organised crime. "Along with gardaí there was a human rights monitor, a translator. and a medical team on board."

@ciarannugent Not economical for the customer while there are curtailment payments and grid constraints in place.

Decarbonisation is by far the best energy strategy for security, availability and affordability

@ciarannugent @greyfox_gaming1 Tidal? You really are moronic. The total world production of tidal energy is approximately 0.5GW. even if Ireland doubled the world total it wouldnt replace a small ccgt plant

@greyfox_gaming1 Price pressures are short term. No other comparable island has nuclear or planning any as far as I know. Taiwan just discontinued nuclear in its entirety. It's untested, long construction, short lifespan, so many issues around decommissioning and waste Solar, wind, R&D in tidal

Any nuclear project in Ireland is 15 years and a 'national children's hospital' away Just increase grants for solar already....no interest loans......proper feed in tariffs...options to rent roof space.....compel landlords to install .....and stop building data centres

@ciarannugent Yeah that will solve it. The drop off in demand at night is pretty minimal but the drop in solar production is 100%. But sure keep your head in the sand mate

@ciarannugent Israel/Gaza is consistently 3-4% but it takes up an incredibly disproportionate amount of public debate

Pretty much consistently the top 2 issues for about 3 yrs now. And they're the same issue for about half the country

@jamesfahey15 Billions

They could have done this years ago and saved millions.

@nwl88444048 There's so many Irish people at the forefront of this debate and it's never discussed on Irish media. Stella O'Malley, James Esses, John Boyne, Paddy O'Gorman

Irish making a spectacle of themselves in Britain this week... Fr Ted creator Graham Linehan wins an appeal against a criminal conviction Moloko lead singer Roisin Murphy highly-regarded (in Britain and online) speech at a House of Lords event Journalist Helen Joyce and her book 'Trans: When Ideology meets Reality ' named in the Top 25 Times list of non-fiction for the 21st century You'd think this concurrence might merit a word or two in our Sunday press.

@ciarannugent So what you're saying is a person on 200k pa contributes more in taxes than nearly 30 people on minimum wage.

An Irish worker on 200,000 euro pays 43% in income tax

@businessposthq Street lights? Ffs you could switch off every street in the country and it wouldn't cover the power one server rack in a data center

Reducing street lighting and removing daylight saving time were among “radical” measures proposed by the government to conserve energy, the Business Post can reveal businesspost.ie/daily-briefing…

@thejournal_ie Not sure why character references are relevant in any case. You should be judged on the severity of the crime and likelihood of reoffending

Opinion: As a former TD apologises for his character letter to the courts for an offender, it is time to remove character references from sexual offence cases.... jrnl.ie/7026315

@Nick_Delehanty Micheal Martin said it in the Dail yesterday

Non-EEA adults in emergency accommodation are up 81% in 26 months. Yesterday, Kitty Holland wrote an article quoting the IPAS Head saying the "vast majority” leaving direct provision don’t enter homelessness. This completely misses the point...even a minority leaving IPAS can overwhelm the system. And its costing BILLIONS. No one is talking about this.

@IrishTimes Who the fuck said it would?

Kyiv official: Ireland’s housing crisis will not be solved by phasing out accommodation for Ukrainians irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

@paulkelly1001 @nickshirleyy Yeah we need a YouTuber to sort out our finances. That will do it. Get a grip man

We need a @nickshirleyy type to head up a DOGE to highlight waste and corruption in government spending of our money . Unfortunately the government is happy to just keep taking more tax from us.

@Default69202648 Pyramid scheme

We don’t want this problem in Ireland. Immigration is key to delivering the manpower required to sustain our public services, and providing pensions for an ageing population.
