Green leader to offer Cabinet proposals aimed at offsetting cost-of-living surge

The package will also include more targeted measures, which sources described as “regulator-led”, designed to help those with energy debts obtain manageable repayment schedules and to ensure vulnerable people were on the cheapest tariff possible.

Inflation is forecast to surge to 8.5 per cent or higher in the coming months, a level not seen since the early 1980s. On Sunday, Mr Ryan confirmed that he wants to look at extending the fuel heating season as part of budget negotiations and to examine heavier taxes on SUV-style vehicles.He indicated a preference for more targeted measures if they were to come to pass. An ongoing ESRI modelling study is to underpin such targeted measures, including through social welfare payments.

Over the weekend Green Party sources pushed back strongly against the idea that carbon tax increases could be stalled, amid growing unease in some parts of the Fine Gael andparliamentary parties. They said the increase will add around €1.40 to a monthly gas bill and about €1.50 a month on home heating oil, and proceeds from the tax already support the fuel allowance, and will fund the Coalition’s flagship retrofitting programme.

Another sign that EamonRyan is divorced from reality… Next he’ll be recommending that we - shower twice a week - cut out one meal a day - sleep with your neighbour to keep each other warm - move to a warmer country during winter

Gobshite

He is probably right about the car use. We should always be taking the metro when we can. Oh, wait...

Unconfirmed reports that Ryan 'hasn't showered on years anyway!'

I hear if you beat yourself with nettles instead of showering it really saves a lot of water . These guys have clearly given up on being re-elected .

These tips make a lot of sense. We need to use less energy where we can. I’ve started driving at 100 max on motorway

So funny, everyone blaming the greens. Its 100 years of voting for FF/FG that has put us in the financial position we are in. Eg living 100km from work, sh1t health services, taxes left right and centre, tolls that were to be scrapped, USC that was to be scrapped......

Ask the Irish Government about the fraud, corruption and crimes against the Irish Taxpayer, they are involved with BAM and the NCH in Dublin, including the shoddy and dangerous construction works, and why Turkish contractors were allowed to bring uncertified materials in.

He must have been up all night coming up with those words of wisdom 🙄

Does it involve peddle powered TV's?

Omg that man lives in la la land

Is it still April 1st?

Shorter shower ? If ur hospital working in COVID do wanna shower less? You are no mercy to government employees 🤮🤮🤮

Maybe he need a doctor

Encouraging people to take public transport but charging me to park my car at the train station! Go back asleep Eamo!

Fkn idiotic 🤡

whether applicants for public office should undergo psychiatric examinations

DrHaroldNews ?

🤣🤣FFS April fools was last week, this has to be a wind up ?

So quite a detailed proposal of a range of things yet just to draw negatice attention you have focused on a couple of elements of a public awareness campaign he may sugggest?

So is he going to stop driving his VW van one street away from the dail and cycling to the dail for his naps

Is this cabbage living in the real world

Cutting one journey a week is not possible for a lot of people

Since Covid everyone is having less showers because we are all working from home. The guy is an idiot.

It amazes how these fools get into government. He should be looking at the big boys and green energy. But no everything they do effects the average person and puts then one step closer to poverty

Raise taxes?

Can't wait to vote

I thought for a minute this was Waterford Whispers.

Surrounded by enough special advisors to field a football team and these are the proposals. I thought I was reading Waterford Whispers.

Does he think we are driving for the crack!

Cowardice is pushing the blame onto the consumer. Leadership is telling the producers to lower their prices during the crisis.

I don’t know what more can be said about this man. I look and listen to him and I think what planet u on today. So now we shower 2 a week and we only drive on Sundays. Well at least he’s earning top bucks for those gems . Hate to feel he wasn’t been rewarded. What a dip stick.

Is the Irish Times taking the piss now stop giving this clown air time

stop spending all that money on bicycle lanes (yes they will come but not the most important thing we face) and retrofitting BER ratings that do not warm you just insulate once warm, again can be done but after we solareveryrooftop and we would be incentivized to buy an EV ooh!

Handing in his notice?

If you walk around Wexford harbour you will see train tracks running into the sea there is a plaque that tells you we built sea planes there in 1918 during WW1. As a nation if we are in war time should we not be responding in ways our grandparents did. solareveryrooftop today

he will be asking girls to cut their hair next. the answer to cop26 is above our heads - solar every rooftop - start today - build our own solar factories - unused energy returned to the grid - simplest answer - they wont cos its FREE energy - we could reduce co2 by masses

🙉🙈🤷‍♂️

I'll inform my boss that I'll only drive to work 3 days a week so.

No green party in Ireland shortly

How about he would stop claiming expenses for the duration of the crisis?

Is Eamon Ryan living on this planet .🙈🙈🙈🙈

Can’t wait to here what this complete idiot has to say!! He will actually be responsible for this government collapsing… and no harm too.. election2022

He's assuming people take long showers and aimlessly drive around the countryside. He is avoiding dealing with the companies that are raising prices and increasing profits and we must look into why.

He looks like he never takes a shower… TWAT !!

I find the hate toward him strange. He doesn't control government but is part of it. We really MUST reduce energy usage before we burn the world away. These ideas won't work on their own but will help.

The result of the last general election was a disaster for this country giving this complete loon the balance of power

That man is so removed from reality.

🤣🤣🤣

Sleepy offers so much when he turns off his engine while he is idling What more can he offer ? Hopefully after his consultation with his counselor ++there will be an awakening! Two more years and oblivion!!

Grow your own salad...🤣🤣

Reminds me of the apocryphal story of Marie Antoinette, just before the Sans-Coulettes stormed the Bastille, upon hearing that there was no bread for the poor reportedly said, 'Let them eat cake'. EamonRyan should consider the response of Les Misérables to such detached idiocy.

FreePublicTransport

I don't why ye are all complaining. The public gave the lunatic a Mandate to implement all such of the Batshit policies he wanted to save the World. It's looking like him and his colleagues are going to be in the green bin now over the cost of being Green

How could this man get elected, nevermind get so much media coverage ?

Kinda guy that buys beans to have a bubble bath

While the EU commits suicide with anti-Russian sanctions - this week the USA increased its buying of Russian oil by 100,000 barrels a day.

What a turnip

This imbecile needs to resign asap. Such an embarrassment. They could start by bringing back home working. Would be a good start.

If he keeps at this then the people in no public transport land will March (which he will be happy with) on us in Dublin with pitchforks and fire, which will be as dramatic as it sounds.

He could do with a visit. He needs a to be in receipt of a strong message from the public. Wakes up from his sleeps and raves incoherently. His the biggest con in politics.

For feck sake. That fellas away with the fairies.

Time to put Eamon in the time capsule and set him free at high tide into the wild Atlantic
