Astounding that the first substantive mention of #climate in entire Presidential election campaign should occur during Catherine Connolly’s acceptance speech, which she rightly labelled an “existential crisis”.
Neither the main political parties nor our national media seem remotely interested.

You'd wonder how does the Taoiseach square this view, sensible on cooperation and preparation, with his recent statements that there is no way to mitigate for climate change?

Shocking indifference to catastrophic Blackwater pollution is a sign of the times
The Blackwater fish kill is part ecological disaster, part culture war, part climate change confrontation and, worst of all, a gross denial of responsibility

Banning Airbnb/short-term lets, grants for retrofitting vacant/non-residential property, punishing vacant land hoarders - these would be healthy additions to an actual housing plan, but they get talked about as if they're radical solutions. On their own they're piecemeal, band-aidy, nothing tactics

I’d suggest that people who answer this question “migrants” have made a very specific choice, and are unlikely to be amenable to appeals to reason
