Ireland's energy isn't particularly green, compared to nearby countries.

The UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal all have lower carbon emissions from CO₂.

Ireland only stopped burning peat for electricity last year!

Nuclear being illegal in Ireland doesn't help.

Considering how things are built in Ireland that's a great thing for the world, trust me.

I'd be ok with it. As long as nobody that's contracted to build housing or apartments here is involved. We'd somehow have meltdown before they laid the foundation.

Pah, good irish Whiskey doesn't need to add dirt to add flavour, leave that to the Scotch!
