To train the estimated 20,000 workers that are required to adequately retrofit the country’s housing stock, the party has proposed a fast-track apprenticeship programmes. This full be funded with European Investment Bank finance, according to the manifesto. It also wants to make public transport free for all students and introduce a €365 public transport annual pass modelled on the fare structure first introduced in Vienna in 2013.
If elected, it has also promised an immediate nationwide ban on smoky coal, stopping the burning peat for electricity and preventing the resumption of industrial peat extraction.The party has also committed to rewarding farmers for “sequestering carbon, restoring nature, and producing clean energy,” through a reformed Common Agricultural Policy.
If they get in they will take the fuel allowance from the elderly as well as the fuel... And probably release wolves onto farmers land and reduce the number of cattle they have. If they don't get us all to live on wolves milk by then lol.
What about free travel for apprentices who make a big contribution to economic activity without draining the public purse
Yea, nah, nobody is voting for you
And it seems to stop the elderly from keeping warm in the winter as well?
They’ll promise the world and do nothing! They failed in government already and are completely out of touch with the electorate of this country! I’m all for environmentally friendly initiatives but tye greens are to militant and delusional to be voted for.
The Greens caused a lot of suicides during the celtic tiger
I remember the last decade of change that the greens gifted us with.
Their basic income policy would sort the pensions debacle out in one dell swoop.
Their Universal Income would solve the mess around welfare and pensions.
On what a Bicycle
greenparty_ie Free student travel would help a lot of people I know plus the €365 yearly pass is so good. Especially when I spend at least 80 euro a month on buses.
More taxes you really mean
Fucking Dreamworld Greens As usual
Don't fall for there spin & don't vote green if you want money left in your pocket by working weeks end..👁👁
We crashed the last time greenparty_ie had their hands on the wheel, maybe you should learn to “drive” before you get in the “car” again?
Tax tax and more taxes that's about all they are good for
Free free free ...but who pays for it ?
How is anyone surprised? They're full on communists...
Have they been at a party with Leo ? 😁
NOTHING is free with the greens, DON'T vote for them, they will completely destroy Ireland.
Everything is FREE FREE FREE
Providing you have one car per 10 families,That wolves can roam free around housing estates..And we build a 150 ft statue of Greta Thunberg in the Dáil Éireann...And of course Tax the hell out of you.
And how many I ask is all this 'Free' stuff is going to be payed for
I remember marching in the student March in Dublin and the slogan was. No cutbacks no fees, no FF or Greens
If every public house they build has good Guinness, they will get my number 1
Free student travel ? That will help minimise the Collosall rents and cost of education itself 🤷🏻♂️
