“We do not have the detail, line by line, percentage by percentage. And we are not going to pick a figure out of the air,” he said this week.
“We need to be careful with sticks, that if you’re using the stick, you are applying the stick to the right errant party.” The debate this week is around sectoral emissions ceilings but is not the first time Sinn Féin has found itself under pressure over climate policies. In the lead up to COP26, party whip Pádraig Mac Lochlainn withdrew a Bill from the Dáil schedule on wind turbines. This proposed a set-back distance for turbines from the nearest house equal to 10 times their height, and also banned the export of energy from turbines.
The most obvious climate-related policy that Sinn Féin is known for is its outright opposition to a carbon tax. Earlier this year, the party tabled a Dáil motion calling on the Government to scrap planned increases to the tax. A United Nations scientific panel last year said putting a price on carbon emissions would be central for getting global warming under control.

As ever they wait to see which way the populist wind is blowing and where the most votes li
It says a lot about the dumb Irish electorate if these guys are top of the polls.
No, the debate the propaganda machine and politicians was climate. The rest of us are still wondering why health, inflation, housing is not fixed yet and why yee are trying to hide it with this climate bollox.
Basically sinnfeinireland don’t care about climate changes as it’s very low down the priority list for SF voters.
NedoSullivan2 Which ever way the wind is blowing
If SF/IRA want to woo the farming vote, they will have to sing their tune. Mary Lou and co have a history of being populist so it follows that they should court the farmers. They don't have principles unlike the Greens.
They don’t stand, just sit on the fence as usual
Yawn.
