Ireland's Fuel Crisis and Climate Future
Description
Ireland’s fossil fuel dependence is exposing citizens to volatile prices and climate disaster, with transport alone responsible for over 21% of emissions. Tax cuts on gas and diesel, while easing pump pain, disproportionately benefit wealthier users — a regressive move that undermines climate goals. The real fix? Invest in public transit, walking, cycling, and EV infrastructure — especially in rural areas. With EV charging lagging behind Europe, grid upgrades and targeted support for low-income households are urgently needed to make clean transport accessible and affordable.
