NO one has an issue with fossil fuels transitioning out, but the parts Ireland needs to look at are the transition and supports for doing so.
That’s according to County Limerick politician Richard O’Donoghue who believes the supports are not there.
“The Government wants people to use electric vehicles. The average car is from between 2010 and 2016. People can barely afford a car from between 2010 and 2016 but they are being pushed towards electric cars.”
“Support and transition are needed, not guillotining something and saying it has to happen today. COP28 is a cop-out because the person out there went on live television and said communities should share 30 vehicles.”
“That is who is representing us. There is no cop on,” Deputy O’Donoghue insisted.
