"Green" policies are destroying this country

Don't let them. Dublin is the City of the plastic bollard now. Even in the Georgian districts. Pure vandalism.

Owen Keegan was interviewed on the News earlier about this proposal above and said 'yes these proposals will disrupt business, but we have to think about the public good'.

I don't know what public good he thinks is served by a hollow City with a wrecked economy, but there seem to be no consequences for his acts. He, in particular, is the greatest vandal of them all.

The alternative to the Catholic church is atheism or some other religion. What is your alternative to 'the (monolithic) greens'

Fossil fuel is not subsidised, do you have any idea what a fuel excise is, or VAT? And then there is tax on the profit margin of companies. All the very antithesis of subsidies. Another green failing at economics.

Yup. Exactly the type of talk one hear from greens when they are quietly moving on to another target. To skin another sheep so to speak.

Why nobody think about our rivers!!! Dirty farmers trying to poison us and the planet!!! OMG OMG what should we do???

Solution? Of course there is one. It is being trialled currently in few other countries like Netherland for example. Nitrogen tax so filthy farmers (and by extension all of us) will have to pay for what they did to our waterways.

Because flood or few is needed to illustrate to the illiterate voter how doomed we are unless we pay more taxes. Carbon one is well established and Nitrogen one is creeping in. Lets try to guess what they are going to try to tax next?

When you see greeniuses hailing photovoltaic cells in a country which receive feck all of a sunshine in a year you know something isn't right.

What are you talking about? The government are literally handing out free insulation and home upgrades to anyone who wants them. What's more of a carrot than warmer more energy efficienct houses that cost less to run?

People can get big subsidies to install car chargers and solar PV etc

The carbon taxes are negligible compared to the cost of living in ireland

free…. Ha. It costs a fortune to do any kind of deep retrofit. A few rolls of insulation won’t cut it compared to what these green gobshites are planning to do to fuel sources etc. hope you’ve deep pockets for all the “free” stuff.

Climate newspeak has its own lexicon. For most of us subsidy means the transfer of money from the taxpayer to an entity by a government, usually with cost benefit analysis that benefits the public and government.

Definition of subsidy

Definition of newspeak

In climate newspeak NOT taxing fuel is reported as a subsidy, except there is NO transfer of money from the taxpayer to the oil refiner. This same corruption in the meanings of words as commonly understood by the public is also applied to farmers use of "green diesel" and fixing potholes (I am not joking) is counted as subsidy to oil refiners.  By their own definition the Greens subsisiding public transport here in Ireland is also subsidising oil refiners.

We should examine the taxpayer money transferred to the NGOs here in Ireland and what they do with it.

That’s not what you said in your previous post.

You said anyone that wants it.

More misinformation.

That’s not true. If you are on Carer’s allowance but don’t live with the person you care for then you do not qualify.

Eg: You sleep in your own property but go to work (yes, it is work even though you’ll never see an option on a drop down list) 7 days a week. You receive the princely sum of 224 euros a week and because you don’t live with the person you care for, you do not qualify for any fuel allowance, full grants etc. So you pay all heating, electricity and maintenance out of that 224 per week.

How can they afford any of the upgrades in the list you posted?

Is there? Could you send me a link to info on those grants as I haven’t come across them 🙂

It's still unaffordable for most working people who currently have mortgages, car loans etc. So it's utter crap. Why can't you accept that?
