@John_Kavanagh Sure we shut down the peat power plants years ago to be the best boys in Europe and Germany burning coal like 40 years ago

Carbon tax is obviously purely virtue signalling. As long as China, India and the like exist Irelands contribution is negligible. Virtue signalling makes sense when you realise our government has more drama club kids than engineers. Taxing ourselves into poverty for no reason.

The price and petrol and distance are nearly as high now as when the government cut excise. Builders, contractors, farmers, truck drivers cannot take it anymore. Cut Carbon tax now.

Ireland shouldn't be importing one liter of fossil fuels with all the abundant renewable energy on our land and sea. We could be the most energy secure country in Europe, but instead, we're the most dependent on others.
By choice.

China just switched on the world’s largest offshore #solar farm. 1 GW off the coast of Shandong ~1.78 TWh/year Enough for ~2.6–2.7M people Built 8 km offshore, covering ~1,200 hectares of sea. Land was never the limit. Now the ocean is the grid. #Bettrification ⚡🔋

@Niall395 @Default69202648 You don't build them with concrete trucks,its a hardcore base build up with a coloured tar finish.

This is heartbreaking. When are we going to learn that pedestrians and cyclists don’t mix with cement trucks?

@IrishTimes Adam Harris is coining it here, form a charity and keep expanding the remit to cover a wide range of ppl with varying difficulties, there’s no real output other than ‘activism’ and therefore no accountability; job for life

@Default69202648 @OldIrelandBack How will we build cycle lanes without concrete trucks???

@OldIrelandBack Hardly.
Immigrants didn’t decide whether cement mixers should drive through a town that was built to accommodate horse and carriage traffic.

At the end of the day, I am Irish and this is my country. I was born and raised here.
Abubaker is a man who came to this country only last year and is already using threatening language and inciting violence against an Irish woman.
I have never interacted with him ever. I have never made a comment about him ever. Knowing his affiliations, I did my utmost not to be on his radar at all, and still he targeted me.
Rachel Moiselle@RachelMoiselle
Hello, everyone. I’m directing this post to Irish Twitter. I have purposefully never interacted with or commented on this Hamas-affiliated Palestinian journalist based in Dublin, as it is quite clear he is dangerous. I have now been subjected to a very explicit post by him inciting violence against me. It is very strange that I have received this due to a post I made unequivocally condemning Israel’s death penalty bill. Naturally I will be going to the Gardaí, but I am calling on Irish people to understand how toxic and dangerous the anti-Israel climate has become in this country. Regardless of differences in political opinions - and in fact I clearly align with the majority of Irish people on the issue of the death penalty - this intimidation of dissenting voices is unacceptable in any democracy. This is why I don’t feel safe here and this is why I am moving by the end of the year. Irish society will protect Palestinians like Abubaker, who has met the president, and will viciously hound a born and raised Irish woman for speaking her mind in a collected, reasoned manner. Ireland 2026.

The Climate Change Advisory Council is still taking the very extreme and incredibly unlikely climate scenario RCP 8.5 seriously in its latest report. That is total scare-mongering. rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

This Palestinian lad arrived in Ireland last year and has been treated like a celebrity by half the country's NGOs and very important people, up to the President. He is now openly inciting violence. By any measure this breaches the 1987 incitement act.

Ireland based its energy policy on ideology, hypocrisy, ignorance and incompetence over many years.
We are completely dependent on others for our energy needs.
We are against fracking but need LNG for security. We’re against Nuclear power but import it from UK and are now

“What do you think? Has it all gone a bit too far?”
The only thing that’s “gone a bit too far” is the BBC’s fervent desire to convince us that there are “too many dog-friendly spaces.”
So here’s what I think, if you really want my opinion, @BBC
Fuck off with your gaslighting.
English
It was a late night political talk show which didn’t take itself too seriously. And aspired to a sense of humour (needed after Question Time). I didn’t aspire to run the country. Or sit in parliament. So your analogy is pathetic. But thanks for reminding us all what a fun show it was.

Ireland has the lowest level of energy security in the EU...
18for0@18for0
Ireland has the lowest level of energy security in the EU. We import 80% of our energy, mostly in the form of oil and gas. We need to address this issue while reaching net zero by 2050. Not even considering Nuclear Power, the EUs largest clear energy source, does not make sense.

Polanski is a know-nothing blowhard. The only Jewish person to lead a political party — bar, that is, Benjamin Disraeli, Ed Miliband, Michael Howard, Jimmy Goldsmith and Herbert Samuel. He is clearly ignorant of the country’s history. And much more besides.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.
