The Taoiseach creates a false choice here. Climate Action is about making life better, making energy cheaper, making our atmosphere cleaner.
But that requires leadership. We see none from this Government.

“All these traumas are the reason why the Irish took almost 150 years before they could memorialise what they experienced in the 1840s. Those who inflict starvation are aware of this, they know that what they’re doing is actually dismantling a society.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

When climate scientists warn repeatedly: "Ireland is not ready for what's happening and worse is coming" they mean we don't have robust resilience, infrastructure, fail-safes, protocols, workflows etc for extreme heat, rain, storms, cold etc. They're right. We're not.
