10k! Because you'll get 5k back and builder will get 10k for your 5k and present it as a saving. Well, the unscrupulous ones....

The key question is will they congregate at the central bank again? And will it be the new one (to windy id have thought) or the old one (to much consumerism not enough capitalism) #speirgorm

Get in the Sea. The nonsense we go on with in this country with public transport. And now we're being told it's 2bn over what's in the NDP. Just build the f**king thing. Those fuel give aways have really come home to roost. #speirgorm #transport #ireland www.irishtimes.com/transport/20...

I assume (hope) this is all trump related political maneuvering like any govt would do And the govt would carry on regardless with renewables, wind, solar + batteries. While an expert group assesses LNG, takes a year and says its crap anyway. Except in our case, I fear this may be the plan.

What's worse, is its taking from day to day funding and budgets for govt departments and public bodies. Wasting our corpo tax the same way thatcher wasted the uks northsea oil money, and that before you even think about infrastructure. #spiergorm

I know that, I think my point is, that will be eaten into for profit as the charges reduce, keeping the bills more or less the same with a cursory reduction to show change on behalf of suppliers. Those tiny margins will become slightly larger. I agree though, major grid improvements are needed.

Shane @shanerazor.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
There are large benfits to us using the money on the grid definitely, but leaving all the generation money on the table is mistake. Any saving from grid optimisation will be swallowed up as profit by private suppliers, it wont change anyone's bill imo. #spiergorm

Even if we did look to build more windfarms we'd licence them to private companies and see zero benefit. We could make a fortune off it but ive no doubt we'd privatise it from the get go. #speirgorm

Jesus thats bad, cause we aren't great at all. Bus Connects (the route and cycle path corridor the bus was on) doesnt have funding this yesr and possibly next, current govt did a deal with indos and they all love roads and cars so the moeny for public/active transport was gutted.

To be fair, there were over 2000 people in the order of merit for heo last year after round 1. So the demand is there. If they didn't interview them there would be uproar. The process is more difficult sure. 3 rounds before being placed on the panel. If people dont show they just didnt wait.
