I think our tds are spending too much time hanging out in hipster bars when they are coming up with proposals like this. Fair enough some of them genuinely believe in banning it . It would be ok if they were banning fracking but all oil and gas exploration, come on. Most Irish people are driving around now in big petrol guzzling suvs, cars are one and half times bigger and heavier than they were 20 years ago. It's hypocrisy of the highest order and then there is the fact that we have also banned nuclear power, but we still buy it from UK. Are there any grown ups left in charge of the country
