Brid Smith TD speaks in the Dail 9.11.17 regarding National Mitigation Plan on Climate Action

I AM ASHAMED of the record we have on climate change and mortified that I will be representing Ireland at European level in Bonn this weekend on this issue. We have failed shamefully, even in our limited committments to honor the (quite mild) Paris agreement. The government’s National Mitigation Plan on Climate Action is a giant work of fiction and they should hang their heads in shame
