@Gerard Casserly: No, you make lemonade. Or slice them for a G&T. ;-)
It’s Christmas Day gives a break from millionaire politicians
@TM B: recommends baking at home during worst homeless crisis. Jesus wept. Would have been better to have avoided this by talking about his record on climate change. Admittedly a shorter article but I don’t think anybody would mind that
@alan: so because some people are homeless we should avoid all mention of homes. Give it an rest will you. At that rate we shouldn’t mention loved ones because some dont have them. We shouldn’t mention working hard at your job because some are unemployed. We shouldn’t mention having fun because some are depressed.
€121,000,000 Already spent on carbon credits because Fine Gael don’t care about the environment.. so no, I don’t care what type or oranges the minister bought
@Kev: CO2 is essential for all life on Earth. As a result of anthropogenic sources and the increase in atmospheric CO2, the earth is greening with vegetation flourishing in arid conditions throughout the world.
It is the scam of the millennium by the banksters and globalists to have commodified a load of hot air.
The scam is masterful when the only pubic grievance is not that the entire operation is an epic fraud but rather that we are not operating within the parameters and complying sufficiently within the scam they have set for us.
@Kev: You have to wonder what turkey (pun intended) signed us up for that, and who exactly did we make the cheque payable to?, and did we get a nice shiny certificate to hang on the wall
@John Kennedy: the world John, the world signed up for that at 3 separate summits overs the past 3 decades. Dope
@Kev: given you expertise in this area can you answer the questions I posed?.
@Rob Porter: You were told before. Assertions without evidence are dismissed without evidence. Your silly childish assertions are dismissed.
@John Kennedy: I see you are still struggling with the facts John. Not something that you can be proud of.
@SteoG: lol
@SteoG: what facts would they be?, can you answer my questions
@Rob Porter: You obviously laugh at your own stupidity. Though it is amusing that you do not realise that.
@John Kennedy: The established scientific facts. You know the facts established over a century ago. The facts you ignored when you search for denier rubbish. The facts that no one has challenged with any scientific evidence.
What has your questions to do with anything? Why would I want to waste my time on them when you have already made up your own mind with fallacy and pseudo science.
By the way after further investigation I withdraw my opinions of Heller. He is a clown. He is into chemtrails conspiracies and other conspiracy nonsense.
@SteoG: Steo
Happy Christmas
@SteoG: as I thought, long on mouth, short on answers, can you answer the questions I posed, who signed us up to pay 121 million, who did we pay it to, did we get a receipt, and if we did, from whom?
@Kev: We are the dopes. How stupid we will look in generations to come. Emotional reactions. No facts. NON. Lowest point sending a mentally challenged young girl to cry and whinge about us taking her future away. What idiots we are.
His second Christmas as Minister……he will be like the turkey…he won’t see next Christmas as minister
All fine and dandy if everyone started baking at home until factories start shutting down and jobs are lost .
hey look! a politician that is suddenly interested in a popular concern of mainly young people. he must be cool.
Don’t give this tool one bit of heed, He is a blueshirt, and we all know what they stand for, – The BIG Farmers of Ireland and the Very Wealthy,- that is their concern. Bruton was reared on a huge farm around Dunboyne, educated in Clongoose, far removed from the ordinary peasants, and he is still far removed . Time to give them the road.
Ffs can we not have a day without being reminded that these jokers are responsible for the current misery going on this country of ours ,spin ,spin and more spin.
Nimbyism par excellance, coming fom a family of beef barons.
This Minister has not excelled at anything, despite numerous appointments, seems to be just sliddering along to a hefty pension.
The best that can be said about his political career is that he had had no impact at all, so hopefully the environment will not be impacted negatively.
For a fellow who is steeped in agriculture to make a statement such as was attributed to him. There is very little hope for our country. Is he another bandwagon man??
2021.
Leo gone to a country with an underground. Noveney as Tanaiste. Dooda as Taoiseach.
Cant wait.
@Padraic O Sullivan: hey Padraic. Have you had your cherry trifle a bit earlier than usual ? :) :)
That the bloke that signed off on them dodge schools and flipped his post to dodge the flack..
