Batsh*t Crazy Green Party

Spraying insulation onto roof timbers in your attic sounded like a bad idea alright but there are other options. People should use their common sense, get impartial advice and work within their budget not waste time and money on half arsed measures.

As a country there are quicker ways to reduce emmisions than trying to retrofit our housing stock in a short time frame,

The cost of a deep retrofit to and older house is still prohibitive for many imho.

Do you really want people in social and affordable housing etc living in cold homes and spending a large proportion of their income on simply staying warm and not getting ill?

In a seasonally cold and damp climate?

The cost of not doing it is greater which is why people with existing houses get Govt. grants for energy upgrades for insulation, solar panels and heating etc.

Cold homes??????????
Are B rated homes cold in a climate that typically goes from

"Winter in Ireland is roughly from October until March. But thanks to the island's location, in the path of the Gulf Stream, the country enjoys warmer weather than you may expect at this time of year. The average temperature is between 4°C and 8°C (39°F-47°F)."

B rated homes are still quite well insulated against such temperatures.

People deserve the best and especially those at the bottom.

Look at all the modern social and affordable homes built across the city in the past few years, A-rated, solar panels and heat pumps.

Allowing people to get on in life with their families without having to worry about fluctuating energy costs, international oil prices and using solar power as well as microgenerating back to the grid.

The days of houses being barely warm are over.

The lower your energy rating then your house value will be affected.

Banks give cheaper mortgages etc for A-rated homes as well as lending instutitions refusing to give loans for non-compliant non A-rated homes as the occupyers are not spending huge sums on heating etc.

Why?

Because they are just not focking stupid.

Your own party does not even have a climate policy nevermind helping keeping people warm etc in homes as they waffle on about "working families" and "ordinary decent people" etc pretending to even care by talking down to their voters like Lynn Boylan.

Wealthy people can afford energy retrofits and the poor deserve the home upgrades paid for by the council and new A-rated homes.

People deserve houses rather than insisting they first and foremost have to be A rated houses Statty. But you're alright jack so you're quite happy to pull up the ladder.

The notion that B rated houses are "cold" or "barely warm" in Ireland's climate are risible. Not that it would stop you from pushing that agenda mind.

Yes, just throw up a few Myrosses and Ballymun there with water dripping down the walls from condensation for the most vulnerable and to hell with building regulations.

Do you just want another Priory Hall?



I want everybody to have the most energy effecient house and especially those in the social and affordable bracket (Those who can least afford the higher energy costs) if you could even understand my posts.

Sound_y:"You wanted a house, well this is a house but not the best one and not even future-proofed to the best standard and this is all you deserve anyway as only the rich get A-rated homes and anyway you can afford the higher energy bills, right?. The climate crisis is the existential threat of our time but you are only stupid and too poor as an ordinary working person to even understand. Vote Sinn Fein"

I suggest relaxing the A rated demand for all housing being built in Ireland to B rated housing, and knicker-wetter-in-chief interprets that as a demand to "just throw up a few Myrosses and Ballymun there with water dripping down the walls from condensation for the most vulnerable and to hell with building regulations"

Well done on your complete shark-jump there Statty - shugawnyluvya

You genuinely have no idea what you are even on about and I can only admire and applaud the courage of your convictions despite having no knowledge whatsoever of the subject even after being repeatedly told that A-rated homes are the most energy-efficient and comfortable homes.

They also tend to have the lowest energy bills, lowest mortgage rates, highest re-sale value and better air quality.

Discussing housing with a shinnerbot is like discussing algebra with a cat

Do they tend to have the lowest mortgage repayments?

Do you think the cost of building homes to A regulation comparted to B regulation initially costs the house-buyer
(a) More?
(b) About the Same?
(c) Less?

You, yourself got SEAI grants for home energy upgrades.

Did you ever work out the payback time yourself?

You front load the cost and win on the payback period as well as the home comfort with lower bills as green mortgages are cheaper.

The payback cost is almost the same but you save of course on the energy costs. (I am assuming you know what "save" means of course)

Jeez, I will have to get the crayons out soon at this rate.

I mean are all the banks and energy experts just "wrong"?

Sound_y?
