    Has anyone any idea how Leo Varadkar (as likely next Taoiseach) is on EV's / Renewables etc ? Any previous statements by him on these that we are aware of? Any reasons to be hopeful ?

    Well he enjoys his cycling, so that's a start..

    Actually, in here: https://campaignforleo.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TAKING-IRELAND-FORWARD.pdf

    It says: We will make Ireland a global leader in GreenTech,
    dramatically increase our production of renewable
    energy in consultation with local communities, incentivise
    the purchase of electric vehicles and hybrids and double
    investment in our greenways and cycling facilities

    And is the current rather lacklustre policy

    My point is he has been shown to be an animated liar when his ambitions are laid out before us. He was passionate in his delivery of not paying another cent and that there would be renegotiation. Coveney seems to have more substance, but he would be a weak leader imo.
