Barry Cowen insisted on Morning Ireland that it wouldn’t in the form it exists
🎵There may be trouble aheeead🎵
I’d love to kick that lad up the arse.
Except for mates of Healy raes, donors to the right political parties etc.
Ah shure yano yourshelf!
So reports on wether the ban will come in so far are; yes, no, yes, no, yes.
Good, if we roll over at the first hint of public pressure then there is no hope for us down the line.
He’s doing more damage to the green party than any lobby group could hope to achieve
Let’s gooo
Should’ve been done years ago
Government trying to not alienate the rural vote who will already be annoyed at the lack of tax reduction on oil.
The Greens, a party who really have no ambition beyond the current government as they are going to get obliterated next election
That’ll quieten Russia, cut off their turf supply…
No it won’t 😂😂
The greens with get chewed up and shat out at the next election. Tone deaf gobshites.
My problem with Eamon Ryan is simple.
His heart is in the right place and I think everyone acknowledges at this stage that we need to do more to combat climate change. My problem is that these ministers and especially Eamon Ryan are paid and elected to help us achieve these goals but they have no viable solutions to the issue. Less cars when rural public transport is non existent, heat pumps for houses when 99% of them need to be upgraded to be viable candidate for a heat pump (you need an a rated ber at least) walk, cycle on poorly lit roads with a wet climate and short days in winter. Tax every road user the same, even ones who have no alternative but to use a car. Vrt relief of only 5k on electric cars. A national grid that would collapse if everyone drove electric vehicles. They talk a lot in the Green Party but they can’t do anything that will make a difference
Nobody in rural Ireland will ever vote for the Greens again. Their mandate seems to be to destroy rural communities without offering feasible alternatives.
He’ll try ban Bacon & Cabbage next.

FFS, Time to stock up on briquettes
So is something cheap going to replace the turf or?
I know loads of people who depend on turf because it’s cheap and can last the whole winter
Do they plan to have a cheap alternative that people can switch to?

If it is allowed to cut turf, then there is simply no way you can prevent it being sold. End of. This is performative legislation from a party that has no clue how rural Ireland actually functions. Let them ban it, it will make no difference.

It sure will… someday…
Could this collapse the government?
