“What is driving the cost of renewable energy in this country is uncertainty”
Sinn Féin’s spokespeople on climate action and transport, Darren O’Rourke TD, and on climate justice, Senator Lynn Boylan, answer Thomas Hubert’s questions on the party’s developing climate policy.
From their proposals to reform the funding of renewable electricity development to the re-allocation of home retrofitting grants and their support for BusConnects, a picture emerges of how Ireland would attempt to cut its greenhouse gas emissions under a Sinn Féin government. They also explain why key elements, such as the level of climate effort expected of agriculture, are still missing from the party’s manifesto.
