He is the biggest gobshite I have ever seen.
That’s Sinn Fein line
Ah yes, notable Tory touts Sinn Féin. What a gowl. Haven’t a clue who Pearse Doherty is, but 10/10 response by him.
I don’t understand this man’s logic It’s like Putin calling the Ukrainians Nazis. It doesn’t take rocket science that any money the government gives to the public to aid the crises, is only going to get consumed by the energy companies’ limitless price hikes.
For someone that gives a shit about the environment, he sure does a lot of gaslighting
Catherine ~~Martin~~ Murphy :
> “A standing charge of €700 in some cases is mad. The standing charge has nothing to do with the price of energy”
Pearse Doherty:
> Austria, France, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Denmark had all introduced price caps in order to protect their citizens this winter
Eamon Ryan:
> it would actually benefit the better-off, who tend to use more energy, who tend to have the bigger houses and who tend to have the biggest bills
Can anyone defend the increasing standing charges? That salad in the Dáil is a gobshite.
> What we need to do is to apply windfall charges and actually give that money back to our people
Ignoring the dumb Tory comment, that seems a responsible response to me.
People getting worked up here over nathin’.
That lad needs a handler whispering in his ear what he can and can’t say because he can’t be trusted to speak for himself.
He utters some amount of absolute shite.
I agree with him that a price cap on bills will benefit the rich the most. Hello Mr&Mrs Hot-tub 24/7. I would much prefer a price cap placed on the unit rate and standing charge.
A danger with a windfall tax is that it is very much after the fact and when the money has already left peoples pockets. This is no help to folks hard pressed now.
What “environmental focus” is being placed on the 70 data centres in Ireland and more to come, surely this is following a Tory Government approach?
It’s funny how much rage Eamon Ryan generates in some people. No matter what he says, you get a load of rabid abuse against him
This man is a mad man only out to spout populism to a dublin elite . The sooner he returns to obscurity the better
Was he still half asleep when he said this? A pure and utter gobshite of a man.
Who is paying standing charge of 700 euros? Which provider has such high charges and how many people are on that plan? Last time there was a post about increase in standing charges and the linked article was pretty thin on the details.
I think it’s finally dawned on Eamon that his chances of re-election, ever, are on the slim side. Still as Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications he got the job he craved, he just made a complete balls of it, could’ve happened to anyone.
Ryan views this as an opportunity to end fossil fuels, which it may be, but not if we don’t have fecking replacement options. We can’t have people freezing in their homes sitting in the dark in 2022 and every restaurant, pub, retail store bankrupted and closed. He’s an ideologically driven brainwashed eejit trying to wish away the problem. We need an LNG terminal yesterday to buy us some feckin time to make the change to renewables. If ff and Fg let him steer the ship on this he’s steering this govt straight in to the rocks and probably ensuring no greens in power for a generation.
Haha, burn.
Watching all the Shinners explain why the Tories are right is amusing.
People are making the mistake of thinking that Eamon Ruin doesn’t _want_ to see energy bills this high – and higher.
I don’t know how people continue to vote this shower back into government
Eamon deeply cares about the poor, who else are going to subsidise his home improvements.
Sorry what’s this Sinn Fein Tory government approach?
I’m assuming these guys have pr people who advise them on managing the media? They should all be fired. Some of the comments recently from the government in particular targeting SF are just shambolic.
Politicians in Ireland are generally awful but the greens, especially that gobshite, raise the fuckwittery into the stratosphere
Where is the regulation? Or where is the power for the regulators to punish companies taking the piss?
Maybe the introduction of power cuts will finally break the public to go out and kneecap this lot
It’s high time he was dragged out into the street, staked to the ground and had a window sill vegetable patch shoved up his arse.
Having a price cap. Gives no incentive to economise. Makes it more likely to for power cuts.
I cant decide if SF are gonna go the MIGA hate route or the bus with Irexit on it. They gonna do something to get the unwashed excited, its just a matter of which
They’re really trying their best to turn the public against them
Beyond useless
Beyond useless
No but it is

This government must the first in history to blame a party that’s not only not in power. But has never been in power.
The Greens are like the messages in Mission Impossible. Self destruct in 30 seconds.
Eamon Ryan is a massive tit. But price caps are a bad idea.
When Sinn Féin look in the mirror they see the Tory Party, and they have themselves for it.
The Green Party are such a waste of oxygen
Yet another stupid moment from a Tory supporter here
