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.

The Minister for Transport (also the Minister for Climate and the Environment fyi) was on radio this morning trying to justify the public transport fare hikes. These hikes are a political choice made by the Department of Public Expenditure, this is not about improving public transport services.

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.

The government passed a law this week that will allow them to exempt infrastructure projects from environmental considerations - gutting the Climate Act. So why did the Social Democrats support them?

Funny how much can change in just one month? The Socdems have completely changed their tune on the Critical Infrastructure Bill and the damaging impact it will have on our climate. Here are some of them speaking out against this bill last month, before voting it through yesterday.
Where do the Social Democrats stand on climate and the critical infrastructure bill?

I am extremely concerned by what the Minister and this Government are doing in the area of climate action and now in the area of climate law. They are dismantling years of work and future generations will bear the cost. Section 7 of the Critical Infrastructure Bill provides for a disapplication of section 15 of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 in specific cases. 

Jennifer Whitmore TD April 14th 2026
Voted in favour of critical infrastructure bill May 13th 2026In this new Bill there is no step change away from this outsourcing and the overreliance on the private model of delivery of infrastructure. Why are we in the situation we are with the children's hospital? Why are we in the situation we are with the lack of infrastructure? It is in large part because the State has handed over the delivery of infrastructure to the private sector.

The Liffey is an icon of Dublin, but it’s also a dividing line. It divides the north from the south. There’s politicians in this election who want to further that division. But I don’t think that’s what we are about. When you’re on the Liffey you can see clearly that we are one city and one river.

Big claims, but a weak case presented by the airlines this week on the Dublin Airport passenger cap. EU legal opinion is that the passenger cap is likely lawful. The “Open Skies” argument is untested and unproven. What sounds convincing… isn’t holding up in court.
