There are many animal welfare issues with dog breeding in Ireland. We want to see further action to protect these animals, and fewer dogs breeding under far better conditions in this country.

This is the importance that the Government puts on supporting households to move to cheaper renewables - a 2% increase. This is the direct impact of the changes to the carbon tax. A laughable increase in the retrofit budget.

In last years budget, SEAI was allocated €640 million to support home retrofit. Min Chambers has just announced that SEAI will get €654.5 million in 2027 for retrofit. A €14.5 million increase. A 2% increase.

That's it! 3 reviews, one extension of an existing relief, one (welcome) increase in an allowance. This tinkering around the edges does not show a Government serious about transitioning away from fossil fuels and making renewable energy easily available for all households across the country.

Having written off 4 years of carbon tax revenue (and no indication yet how that hole will be filled) the Tanaiste spends a section of his speech talking about how important energy transition is to his Government. But what the the measures he is actually announcing?

from accelerating renewables and energy efficiency to phasing out fossil fuels and avoiding new fossil fuel infrastructure. But we need the political will and drive to do this - which is sorely lacking from this Government, who in OCTOBER have still not published their 2026 Climate Action Plan.

And there’s more; ⚡ Renewable electricity is projected to reach just 52–59% by 2030, despite the Government’s 80% target. 🏢 Data centres already account for over 20% of Ireland’s electricity use and could reach almost one-third by 2030.

The numbers in the new Ending Fossil Power report from @stopclimatechaosie.bsky.social should be a wake-up call. 🇮🇪 Ireland is legally committed to cutting emissions by 51% by 2030 - but even if every existing policy is delivered, the EPA projects we’ll achieve just 25%.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are hiking fares in the middle of a cost of living crisis. And after the summer we’ve just had, we should be encouraging more people onto buses and trains and expanding services to reduce our transport emissions. We do that by making it more affordable - not less.

Are you being hit by the bus & train fare increases? Let the Government know how you feel. Protest outside the Dáil at 6pm Thursday. These increases are a political choice - let’s pressure FF & FG to reverse them at the Budget in 4 weeks time.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are trying to put the blame of these public transport fare increases on the National Transport Authority. Make no mistake - these fare increases are a political decision and a result of this Govt's disinterest in public transport and their disregard for its users.

Hiking fares by 15% at any time undermines climate action, but to do it in the middle of a severe cost of living crisis is going to hit workers and those who commute regularly, really hard.

The Government has chosen to increase public transport fares, chosen to make passengers pick up the bill during a cost of living and climate crisis. Today @rodericogorman and @feljin_jose spoke to every media outlet in the country to express their frustration at this decision.

Budget 2027 has to address the impact that fossil fuel price rises are having on families across Ireland, and both provide immediate relief, but also help households make the long-term switch to renewable energy sources, to give them energy security into the future.

Thanks Paul Hosford and the Irish Examiner for reporting my comments on reduced funding for the tenant-in-situ scheme. "Scheme" or "policy tool", no one cares. It works — Genuinely "accidental" landlords get to sell up. Tenants stay in their homes. The state grows social housing. Everyone wins.
