Energy housing water and planning

Summary

Michael Healy-Rae criticised Green Party influence on basic infrastructure policy and attacked a proposal affecting commuters’ parking and travel habits. The Chair repeatedly curtailed him for time.

I commend an excellent report in the Business Post by Lorcan Allen, Daniel Murray, Killian Woods and Catherine Sanz on energy, housing, water and planning and how Ireland is on the brink with regard to those basic essentials we need. The common denominator in our failure in energy, housing, water and planning is the Green contribution to this Government. The sooner Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael wake up to the fact the Greens are going to drive us all into the ground, the better. Look at the nonsensical proposal that came out the other day about workers coming to work no longer being allowed use the car park that has cost millions and millions of euro wherever they are working.

It was said they should instead park miles out of town and make the last bit of the journey on a bicycle, walk or try to get a bus, if they are able to.

It is absolutely ridiculous, and the sooner somebody calls it out for what it is, namely, insanity-----

Mind your blood pressure there, please.
