So that's why they're leaving billions unspent. The way this government bends over backwards to serve polluting industries putting billions aside during a housing crisis and with a collapsing healthcare system to pay fines for polluters is fiscal common sense

Irish taxpayers will have to fund up to €8 billion in penalties for missing 2030 emissions targets, not the corporations or sectors doing the polluting. Confirmed on ⁦ @RTECountryWide ⁩ by Climate Council chairperson.

So this explains why The Taoiseach wouldn't answer @paulmurphy_TD 's question on whether Irish troops would only be carrying out "de-mining" training in Ukraine last November The Irish people want to protect our neutrality but our government is eroding it at every turn

The Government said training of Ukranian troops would be "non-lethal" in nature and repeatedly emphsised its humanitarian nature. However, The Irish Times has learned the Defence Forces will also be providing weapons training, per a Cabinet decision

There are so many low energy, high labour tasks needed to avert a climate catastrophe rewilding, regenerative agriculture etc. and care jobs for an aging population that are needed to avoid social collapse but there's no value put on them because they don't show up in our exports

We would have had a widespread public housing system already if they state had just built homes directly instead of paying for each house 3 times over through remediation schemes because lobbying by private interests removed any regulation so they could pocket more profit

🤔 Using your position as an elected councillor to facilitate the transfer of public assets to your spouse isn't really a personal matter though It raises questions about the Niall Collins judgment, trustworthiness and if he could use his position as a minister for similar gain
