The government has repeatedly fallen short of promises to get the important strategy finished

The Government’s purchase of carbon credits covers up their consistent failure to act in the face of the Climate Crisis
Costing taxpayers, worsening public health & perpetuating climate imperalism
Utter greenwashing:

We even have TDs who are pushing fossil fuels...

And if every person on Earth lived like an Irish citizen, the planet would already be 3°C warmer
Our Government is failing to act each & every day:

Meanwhile our media fails to report on the breath, severity and urgency of the Climate Crisis at every turn
...And does all it can to avoid being held accountable
