Date: May 3, 2023 - Fowl Emissions

“Many economists remain stuck in an inexorable growth narrative, or at best a ‘green growth’ narrative,” which has “resulted in a discipline… blinkered to the ecological challenge – the ecological catastrophe – we now face.” This observation by President Michael D Higgins last week touched a raw nerve. The Business Post quoted five economists as… Read more »

Sinn Féin really is a laggard when it comes to climate policy but some in the party seem to be making an effort.

Tucker Carlson, a right-wing broadcasting star on Fox News, was tipped as the political heir to Donald Trump, until he was sacked – without an explanation – last month by News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch.

ROSCOMMON-GALWAY TD Michael Fitzmaurice got a predictable reaction from Green Party representatives when he mooted his new farmers’ party. Junior agriculture minister and Green senator Pippa Hackett said Fitzmaurice was using the “playbook of Trump’s America” and had an “anti-environment sentiment for his own narrow electoral gain”.

TORIES TAKE ON THE DUP

Date: May 3, 2023 - Northwind

The DUP is furious with the British government. The DUP hasn’t realised that the terms of trade have changed since the overwhelming 515-29 vote in Westminster to endorse the Windsor Framework deal with the EU on the Irish Protocol.
