      Well, It was those pesky greens who wanted us to sign up for it in the first place.

      So yeah I’m kinda happy they’re gone.

    2. It’s their own fault for being absolutely shite and refusing to represent the people that voted them in.

      Green party were mostly superficial urban focused green policies. What we really need is a reforest the island with native trees and make it work for farmers so they get paid more to manage Forrest then having fields and livestock (basically reducing are ability to make dairy products (so basically kerrygold would become a domestic only product)  , reduce food imports at the same time somehow (don’t forget fyffes one biggest importer of bananas in the EU ), we would need to bring back beet farming for sugar (got rid of it in the 90s) just to make all those nice things, reduce tax on Irish products so we don’t have to look abroad , basically tax the hell out of imports and flying (killing Ryanair one of our other great experts) 

    4. Oh no, the party that represented South Inner Dublin and taxed the public into dust lost their seats.

      It was one of the most disappointing aspects of the last election. In the middle of a climate crisis, the greens were annihilated.

      Bit of a misguided headline. Should read arbitary targets set by EU not met so EU will fine country

      Europe is in the process of rearming and attempting to bolster defense spending to €800 billion in years to come.

      All these climate pledges will be nullified in wake of the growing Russian threat.

      How about they put their heads together figure out a way to reduce emissions and stop climate change without taxing us to the poverty line.

      The greens are a liberal party that propped up FF/FG. They were of no benefit to the environment or anyone else

      Pay to who exactly and what do they do with the money?

      How about…. We just don’t pay the fines? We definitely won’t be the only ones non compliant.

    12. It’s not your fault, it’s not my fault. I hate how the government and news media puts it on us as citizens, in an attempt so you feel guilty.

      There is a significant divide between individuals and changing behaviors and addressing the corporations through regulation. I don’t agree with attacking small hold farmers as a cause either. The top echelon of our society produces 4 to 35 times more carbon than the bottom 50%. Data centers are a super easy example of incorrect corporate regulations. You think those AI queries, imagine generation isn’t part of the problem. Transport, Amazon.. Google..

      This is a half baked rant I could have constructed better but fuck me, I find it annoying, it’s not the average person on the street, sure, YES we can all help but the government needs to cop the fuck on.

      Penalties from whom? Who is the almighty authority to send a bill for not hitting a political target?

      We are heading for war. Climate change is going to take a back seat for the rest of the decade.

      With the majority of European countries in or heading for recession and an impending trade war I have the sneaking suspension that emission rules will be loosened in order to keep the EU ticking over.
