Mr Ryan has committed Ireland to a 25% cut in carbon emissions from agriculture by 2030. I foresee a self inflected agricultural famine in Ireland if this eejit is still in post. If these targets cannot be met, Irish farmers will go to the wall & their land will be bought out on the cheap by existing tax dodgers in Ireland looking for a stable, long term investment ie more housing & end the food supply chain. Even if they choose to use the farms, these investors will have a monopoly on the supply & export of Ireland’s food, making food hugely expensive in Ireland with starvation the likely outcome for the poorest in society. But, hey, Ireland can always rely on cheaply importing food from third world countries who refused to sign up to any climate change agreements. A side order of toxins on your steak anyone?
I worked on a research project with the EPA on reducing GHG emissions from agriculture. Over half of the emissions are from methane from cattle. Most of the emission reductions can easily be met by reducing enteric methane emissions from cattle using enzymatic inhibitors, e.g. 3NOP. It would only cost a few euro a day per head of cattle to add the supplement to their diet. The suppliment has no negative effect of weight gain and in some trials increased milk yield. I have no idea why this isn't already done. That would achieve c. 75% of the emission reductions, the rest can be achieved by judicious fertilizer application, that takes into account soil conditions (soil permeability) and weather, that also benefits farmers by reducing fertilizer while increasing the effectiveness of fertilizer. An emission reduction of 25% isn't much, if we employed all emission reduction techeques and changed land use patterns so farms operated on the appropriate soil types (this part would be opposed), we could achieve a c. 50% reduction Hristov, A.N., Melgar, A., Wasson, D. and Arndt, C., 2022.

I hope he was refreshed enough having enjoyed the luxury of travelling business class to attend these events and DID NOT fall asleep during same. After all, peddling his bike to the Dail has caused him to fall asleep on more than one occasion during very important business! What a hypocrite!
Oh christ, what are we actually doing as a nation voting this gobshite in. Hopefully his constituents will see sense when the next General election is held
Why is it when those people get into power its first class all the way,flights,hotels, food everything,as a tax later I don't want my money wasted like that,let them fly economy and if they want business class let them pay that balance themselves,why the fk should the taxpayer have to pay for it.
They all do that. 4 years ago I was flying back via Dubai on the plane with the victorious Irish Rugby team. On the same plane in business class was Michael Noonan
All the private jets for Cop-26 and more recently, the 1,400 tons of rubbish left strewn across the fields of Glastonbury by Greta cheering fans. Yet, I'm slammed for driving a modest 1.0L petrol car - hypocrites!!!
So it's ok to fly business class because they can offset it with taxes. It's ok for our cars emissions asong as we pay the carbon tax and the extra in road tax. It's ok to advertise for sale Bord Na Mona peat briquettes but not peat as taxes aren't being collected . Does anyone else see a common denominator here that has nothing to do with the environment MONEY. Who does he think he is fooling ? Not ME !
Long haul is very uncomfortable flying economy class, if my flight exceeds 6 hours then I'm flying business class. Flying business class next month actually to Clark/Luzon, Philippines round-trip from Dublin, at a cost of €5,000 with Emirates.
There are ideologies, and then there is reality. It's absolutely a fact that, specifically on short notice all economy class seats are out. And as a matter of fact the plane flies anyways. So here the green party sees themselves facing the issues of reality - one wants to represents the country (others represent their company) the best possible way, and yes, business class helps you to achieve that, and there is no way around that fact. Now everybody who calls that a hypocrite, I would not go that far. But I would request from the Green Party to simply agree, that there are reasons for some things, as there are for flying business class. And that a simple "we need to stip flying business class as it has the biggest footprint" is too simple of an approach.
This man represents everything that is wrong with Ireland today
Put him and his ilk out to grass
PL
No truer words. Bertie wasnt a patch on this troica. Ryan martin and varadkar. The 3 stooges
An absolute plonker
It is going to be very hard listening to this delusional politician for a further two years

Theres something wrong with this guy
Hes not repersenting me
All the private jets for Cop-26 and more recently, the 1,400 tons of rubbish left strewn across the fields of Glastonbury by Greta cheering fans. Yet, I'm slammed for driving a modest 1.0L petrol car - hypocrites!!!
It is Neo-feudalism. The entire world is being taken over.
He definitely needs to be in rehab!!!!,
Do as I say, not as I do! Ireland in a nutshell!
This would be so funny if it wasn't so dangerous.
Meanwhile we all should take 30 second showers ...
Business class to Brazil.
Business class to China.
Then he says each village should have one shared car.
Let them eat cake !
The weather was warmer in the roman times.The climate changes with or without people!
How much turf dos business class use?? I'm just wondering any environmental auditers out there??
How many times did he tàke our jet at 7000 per hour, he poor boy needs to be rested so thats he can arrive at a meeting.
Well well 😡😡😡😡
Who let him out. Those walls ain’t high enough
He is full of b.s
So it's ok to fly business class because they can offset it with taxes. It's ok for our cars emissions asong as we pay the carbon tax and the extra in road tax.

Don't get a middle seat. Emirates is the only airline I know with middle seats in business class...
VIP
There is no defence for this. No one knows or cares who they are. They should be same as everyone else
So.. what have we gained from these meetings represented by very refreshed Irish govt ministers??
