I hope one day I’ve enough money to care about the climate. Till then I guess Aontu will get my protest vote

Aontu are Sinn Fein but religious and weirdly fixated on abortion when the issue is already widely accepted in politics and society. Many of the other parties manifesto didn’t even mention abortion.

Ya, a country with 5.26 million people can address the climate crisis. Jesus wept you lefties.
There are much bigger issues closer to home that we need to and CAN address.

The meme maker probably didn’t read the manifesto because Aontú does say something about the climate crisis, but focused squarely on securing the farming vote
>Aontú is extremely alarmed at the content of a report from the Environmental Protection Agency last year which suggests that a national herd cull of 30% would be required to meet climate targets. The findings of this report show that the most vulnerable will be targeted in the government’s emissions reductions. The report found that a reduction in livestock numbers, 30% reduction in the national herd, the quadrupling of forestry cover and the rewetting of 90% of reclaimed land would be necessary to meet the government’s targets.
>Aontú was the only political party to oppose the Climate Action Bill in the Dáil. We did as we knew this Bill would increase pressure on farmers. Sinn Féin are speaking out of both sides of their mouths on this issue – they supported the Climate Action Bill, they voted in favour of it – of the legislation which paved the way for these targets and reductions in herd numbers.
Personally I think herd reduction for climate change is a bit stupid but it is disappointing that Aontú ignore positive steps that could be taken in terms of electrification infrastructure and renewable energy sources.
