“I’ll be perfectly honest, I‘ll be looking at the science there to make sure, are we absolutely certain that those peat briquettes, because of the way they are processed, because of they way they burn, are below the 10 micrograms of pollution that is put out into the atmosphere.
Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan (top), last night during a dail debate on the sale of turf
Meanwhile…
…via RTÉ News:
a spokesperson for the Minister insisted that it is not envisaged peat briquettes would be banned from September.
They pointed out Bord na Móna has already said that its briquettes will comply with the ten grams per hour emissions rate.
However, they said all briquette producers are likely to be asked for proof to show that they are in compliance with the new regulations.
Ryan says peat briquettes could be included in smoky fuel ban (RTE)
Ryan has good form following d’science and being misled

He really is a right male appendage
This climb down shows exactly that he is a bottom feeder
Remember if you are voting a vote for the Green Party is a vote to add 25% to the inflation
Please put him on the government jet and feck him out over Moscow
Personally I think this was always going to be a back pedal, and was a contrived distraction from the carbon tax. Interesting how that was quietly slipped in eh?
Classic look over there tactic.
A peat briquette is a glorified firelighter; a sod of turf is a sod of turf.
And under any criteria Ryan is a gallopin’ gobpoo.
“Looking at the science”
Howsabout the mercury in those lightbulbs they were promoting last time they were in power. I wonder if the science was looked at that time, or just interrogated until it passed away.
Hehehe
Great headline!
