Climate Change Needs Action – Crowe<\/p>\n
Dublin South West TD Se\u00e1n Crowe has described the Government\u2019s failure to introduce a comprehensive Climate Change Bill and to deal with issues of flooding and environmental damage as “foolhardy.”<\/p>\n
Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Government gave a commitment in their Programme for Government to introduce a Climate Change Bill, but three long years later it still hasn’t surfaced.<\/p>\n
\u201cClimate Change continues to be an ongoing issue not just in Ireland but on a global level.
\n\u201cIn Ireland in recent years, we have seen all too frequently the damaging impact severe flooding that exacts a huge cost from society in terms of human suffering. It also has a huge monetary cost to families, local authorities and the state.<\/p>\n\u201cTo sit on their hands and do nothing is not an option. The new Environment Minister needs to get his act together and address the issue of climate change and the growing impact it is having on our society.
\n\u201cThis is essential for economic growth; for protection of the environment and for global environmental justice.<\/p>\n\u201cIn 2013 Sinn F\u00e9in introduced just such a bill and there is no reason why the government cannot use this template for their bill.<\/p>\n
\u201cSinn F\u00e9in\u2019s Climate Change bill is comprehensive and can be a building block for Ireland’s low carbon, sustainable economic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need the government to support our bill and to stop sitting on their hands with such a critical issue\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
