This afternoon.
Warrington Place, Dublin 2.
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, and Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan, joined Celene Craig CEO of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland at their HQ to announce new funding for TV and radio projects which support live music, the Irish language broadcasting and, you won’t believe it, climate change awareness.
Greta as Gaeilge?
How dare tú.

Government grants for arts shouldn’t be conditional on a particular agenda (or even subjects). It’s State social conditioning or propaganda otherwise. They’ve gotten too used to pushing an agenda with State money through Covid times. The habit needs to stop.
“Greta as Gaeilge?
How dare tú.”
Brilliant lol!
Considering the Greens are all over it like flies on cow excrement. I’m guessing that it will be 99% climate change propaganda.
Remember more taxes will fix everything.
Ah, yes, some right on public sector diversity in action: three white people.
We’re coming up to June – corporate ID rainbow lanyard month. Twits.
What’s this climate change thingy, never heard of it before…
We must stop climate from changing .. and viruses from spreading. We control nature now, apparently. Ain’t science great? :)
It’s a carbon copy of the COVID stuff.
Very dangerous by all accounts. https://insideevs.com/news/583324/paris-suspends-149-bollore-electric-buses-after-two-fires/

One thing’s for sure – the art will be more wanksy than Banksy …
Can you imagine if the arts in our history was subject to the narrative
It amazes me how our licence fee can be channelled to the greens
I think after their proformance in this government they will need a reversing mirror to see their future
I recommend a carbon tax on the emissions of guff coming out of the dail
So our license fee now goes to the Green party.
Some years back I believe motor tax monies were extracted from the government to pay for Irish water….. I wonder will the carbon tax pay for this propaganda bull crap….
Do people really believe that if we keep spending money and taxing society to brink of poverty that somehow the environmental concerns that organisations such as the Green party have, along with the vested interest parties; say scientist etc who can claim million of euro in grants so long as their research has a reference to climate change, will correct themselves and all will be right again on the planet. Well right in so much as some unqualified third party believes it is.
BTW has anybody in the Green party got a degree in environmental science?
Eamonn Ryan ran a cycling business
Catherine Martin studied classical music
Joe O’Brien worked in a migrant rights office
Roderic O’Gorman was a law lecturer
Pippa Hacket studied agriculture
Malcolm Noonan worked with Friends of the Earth (one minister out of 8 who has tangible experience working with environmental issues)
Oisin Smyth worked as a PM at St Vincent’s
Marc O’Cathasaigh studied primary school teaching
With the exception of one minister from the Green party, they all worked and trained (trained, being taking up college seats from students who actually wanted to work in the relevant subject area) in areas completely foreign to environmental matters.
People with degrees in environmental science are probably working in the field of environmental science.
Seems to me they are not having any effect
When I see no plastic packaging in the supermarkets I will actually believe the message of climate change has registered
All I see is carbon taxes and guff
Until then I will burn smoking coal turf and drive my gas guzzler
The last COP at Glasgow Was a complete disaster with the cheque is in the post message sent out loud and clear
Those climate change projects are needed pretty badly, going by these comments.
…what climate change projects would they be…another new tax…more blah blah blah?
Completely ending fossil fuel dependency and rewilding half the planet.
Careful now – you may meet another dreamer in Mittyworld as you traipse around.
