I like that we have a green in the government. I may not agree with everything he says but in general I think hes okay.
Eamonn Ryan:
“Ah, it was actually lettuces”
But driving faster does use more fuel. That’s offensive to rural communities? Jesus wept.
The current iteration of the green party that we have is just Fine Gael on bikes.
People have an obsession with vilifying this man over the most trivial statements.

Hahah. The greens are trying to shaft the electorate as much as possible before they disappear out of existence.
The sooner the general election comes to decimate this idiots the better.
I was foolish and thought a green party might actually know about green energy and economic efficiencies. Hahah. Boy was I wrong. All they know how to do is put bike paths in on the rainiest country in the world with the worst infrastructure to put those bike paths.
Greens. More like Morons.
His policies towards investing in road infrastructure are resulting in deaths. Rural and secondary roads have more and more cars traveling on them, but the investment into improvements isn’t there. Routes like the Limerick to Cork, or Limerick to Waterford are notoriously busy and dangerous, but the Green and Eamon have slow walked and delayed the much needed investment into these routes.
I can’ understand how the media isn’t picking up on this.
This is offensive to cabbages
I’m an environmentalist, but the Greens under Eamon are all stick and no carrot.
Wholly incompetent at making policy. They shut down or de-fund something without the alternatives been lined up. Worse the carrots wont come for years, so they’re flogging people who have no options but the status quo.
The man needs to stop loading people with tax’s, disincentives and poor infrastructure, because even with the best will in the world people can’t use the things he’s trying to incentivize or it doesn’t make economic sense, and they people aren’t flush with cash.
He’s doing irreversible damage to green causes.
When politicians steep to this kind of out of context social media clips you know they’ve got really nothing to actually say
We should drive slower though…
None of these are bad pieces of advice individually (although his delivery of the lettuce bit was really bizarre!!)
Why do people act like anything a politician says is supposed to be a panacea for all ills?
Driving at 100km/hr is apparently more than 20% more economical than 120km/hr. That’s not an insignificant saving and a lot of people don’t seem to know about it. What’s the issue with saying it?
I still don’t know what the Green party actually does other than put up the facade of green politics. They are fine with grants for energy efficiency, they are ok with grants for electric cars, car chargers and solar panels but like actual difficult policy stuff that doesn’t spend taxpayers money they have a real hard time advocating for.
Here is just a quick list:
1. escooters – took them fucking years to get that legislation out the door for something that is a real godsend for last mile transport around the city
2. Green wall technology – in built up areas the gov should be legislating that we have green walls where we can where it makes sense and fully fund them
3. Putting solar panels on top of gov owned structures where it makes sense. Like on top of all train stations, the new metro stops if they ever actually fucking make them, make solar rooves above some of the Luas stops that are free standing that could use shelter beyond the little metal and glass ones
4. Do protected solar roads with bike paths like on the M50 like they have in Korea
That’s just the quick fucking 1 minute off the top of my head ideas I’m sure everyone has a few they could suggest as well. It’s not hard, some of it is just policy, some of it is fucking common sense. It seems the Green party would rather say “eat less meat hurrrrrrrr, plant your cabbages in the window, herpy derpy doo” than actually do some wider changes to give us a better environment even things that would be free, or even in the solar side of things would actually MAYBE even earn money long term.
He is a dope. But boggers need to relax.
Carpooling and driving slower does reduce cost and carbon emissions, and you can grow cabbages if you want.
It’s not like he called you backwards ugly cunts or something.
I don’t own a car. I live in the city. Eamonn Ryan’s a waste of space.
He is a climate change cult lumatic while completely oblivious about the massive costs imposed on people through hideous taxation. Ryan is a stupid c**t.
He’s happy to swing all day at the low hanging fruit i.e. rural communities, bypasses, private cars etc.
I’ll never get over the time he said having more public transport would lead to an increase in unessary journeys
