He said that leaders must lead. This was at COP30. The problem is that he does not take his own advice when he is back at home. He leads a Government which is on track to miss our legally binding targets by a country mile. As it currently stands, we are not even on track to hit half of our 51% target. The Government is allowing the big polluters to call the shots, bending over backwards to the tech companies and projecting that the data centres may use up to 30% of our energy by the end of this decade. It is in favour of new fossil fuel infrastructure, the dirtiest fossil fuel infrastructure possible, in the form of liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminals. We need drastic action as opposed to just words abroad. Is the Taoiseach still committed to the 51% target and, if so, will he launch new additional measures that are needed?
