This comes after a Cabinet meeting where key documents on sustainable transport and clean energy were put on hold, suggesting a possible reduction in environmental ambition.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael sent out clear messages that their preference was for coalition with Labour . The only interpretation is that they think Labour might be slightly less demanding partners
One worry from this election is that the environmental agenda we seek to represent might not be able to afford a five-year delay, or that the progress we made in recent years might slow down or come to a stop. The omens in several ways are not good. Many of the candidates who topped the polls were those who have been the most climate sceptical.seems to have given up on climate ambition altogether. Several of the Independents define themselves by their opposition to the green transition.
Is it not better to take on that responsibility by making sure that the centre holds left, rather than letting it veer off to the right, which is the other option the electorate has delivered in the last few days?
