Brid Smith TD on Carbon Tax – featured on The Week in Politics 31.3.19
Carbon tax hurts the poorest most and will do nothing to prevent emissions – the main thing we need to do to avert catastrophic climate change
Brid Smith TD speaking against Carbon Tax at the climate committee
The Govt parties try to justify bringing in #CarbonTax for ordinary households on the basis that it would lead to better behaviour among people and so reduce emissions. There is no evidence for this and more to the point, it allows the big corporations who pollute hugely – off the hook

Richard Boyd Barrett TD denounces proceedural trickery to delay Bríd’s Bill
I GOT FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES! Fair play to my comrade Richard Boyd Barret who took on the job of challeging the proceedular trickery of the powers that be in ‘the house’ today. My Climate Emergency Bill, despite being passed overwhelming so far, has been put into ‘limbo’ by undemocratic means because the fossil fuel industry doesn’t like it. Here’s the exhange in the Dáil earlier. Thanks Richard.
Bríd slams Taoiseach re sabotaging progress of Climate Emergency Bill
The full failure of this govt on climate change was exposed in this exchange with Varadkar – the usual patronising attitude and false smears – the continued defence of exploration for fossil fuels we can’t use (if we are to stop global tempreture rises of over 2 degrees). They’re breaking the Dáil’s own rules to stop progress of this Bill. #WorkHarderBeNicer to Lowry and his gang; that will save the planet! Someone tell Greta Thurnberg!
DON’T KILL the BILL! Bríd Smith TD outside Dáil on her Climate Change Emergency Bill
The Bill that would prevent further fossil fuel exploration off our coast has been put into ‘limbo’ by a clique that includes Michael Lowry and Michael McDowell. Evidence of the hypocrasy of a governement that claims to care about the environment. We protested outside the Dáil today – 19.2.19.
