Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, who is Minister for Environment and Climate, ranks as the sixth worst polluter – taking in Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai – totalling 8.4 tonnes of C02e based on a long-haul flight.
The argument submitted previously is that Ministers must take business class flights due to the sensitivity of Government material that they work on during trips. This equates to 185.58 tonnes of CO2e this year; 123.84 extra tonnes of carbon pollutants due to flying this St Patrick’s day. The five lowest polluters were Ministers Heather Humphreys and Paschal Donohoe, and Ministers of State Ossian Smyth, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, and Kieran O’Donnell – none of whom are taking long-haul flights as they are flying to the UK or countries in Europe.
The planes will fly anyway.... The emissions will be the same if all ministers stay at home.
Looks like a right sod!
