Why is COP in Dubai? They should plonk on a big lump of ice that’s broke away from the ice caps and all these politicians and lobbyists should have to row to it.
Is it really vital he flies back for this? Seems a bit unnecessary. I thought they’d have more than enough numbers.
Raises the question why we can’t bring in remote voting for TDs. We are an advanced society now with the capabilities for all representatives to be heard no matter where they are. Requiring them to be there in person is a bit contrarian and traditionalist.
Green my bollox with his carbon footprint
Could he not just have paired with a political opponent? Anything to avoid the terrible impression this gives, set against important work.
Edit: ‘important work’ being not so much Dubai, but his work in Ireland. It needs all the strong public credibility it can get.
Sit a phone with a stand in the Dáil, then Ryan can vote via video call……*”Oh but, but, but”*
Ok?
Is he coming back to kick the boot in??? Be some heel turn.
Optically, this is a really really really stupid move.
Can anyone here actually properly justify it? There is no way to spin this positively to the public.
His vote won’t be a game changer either. Stay put Eamon… seriously. The most free and obvious advice you will ever get.
It’s ridiculous there is no pairing for this.
Those conferences are a joke and he can just text an underling to give away more money.
