If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

I'll be going to Costa Rica for a few weeks, primarily to see how they managed to bring their natural rainforests back as a model for Ireland. 🌎
So I have a request: if anyone has any eco contacts in CR they'd be willing to put me in touch with, or advice, I'd be very grateful.
