Go Green Or Go Home - Friends of The Irish Environment

Gavin Dowd, Pierce O'Meara, Alex MacDonnell Season 3 Episode 2

In the flagship episode of season three, we discuss the seminal Supreme Court decision in the recent environmental case ‘Friends of the Irish Environment v Government of Ireland’. We explain why the government’s climate action plan was struck down and explore what this means for Ireland’s fight against climate change. With the coalition government facing ever increasing pressure to tackle climate change in Ireland, how does this judgment affect Ireland’s plan to be carbon neutral by 2050?
