Well, hey, the big wigs joined in the climate scam, so, no complaining when the money gets redistributed elsewhere instead of helping Irish citizens
Laggard Ireland may face 26 billion euro EU climate bill, watchdogs warn
Ireland may have to pay EU compliance costs of between 8 billion euros and 26 billion euros ($8.4 billion-$27.2 billion) if it does not swiftly implement its emissions-cutting plans by 2030, the country’s fiscal and climate watchdogs warned on Tuesday.
The estimate, equivalent to between 3% and 9% of Irish national income, far exceeds the most recent 2023 government estimate of 3.5 billion euros to 8.1 billion for falling short of the 2030 EU climate change targets.
The Irish fiscal and climate change advisory councils said the government could reduce the potential costs to between 3 billion and 12 billion euros if it follows through on plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions that have yet to be enacted.
“Allowing these costs to fall on the Irish state instead of meeting its agreed commitments to reduce emissions would be a colossal missed opportunity,” the two independent bodies said in a joint report.
As part of the EU’s legally binding target of a 55% cut in emissions by 2030, member states that fail to hit their goals are liable to effectively pay those that exceed their targets by purchasing their surplus emissions allowances.
Sucks when your cult beliefs suddenly hit you in the wallet, eh? It’s not like the government, ie, the taxpayers, are already having to shell out to 100% support all the 3rd world immigrants they’ve imported, who bring 3rd world culture to Ireland – rapes, sexual assault, harassing women, violence, pooping in the streets, and so much more – and try and force Ireland to change to their culture.
Maybe all the voters in Ireland should rethink who they are voting for. Otherwise, such it up, buttercups.

American voters already took that decision, last November, choosing the rude, crude, and socially unacceptable Donald Trump, whom our good and noble friends on the left warned us would throw trannies in jail, push queers into hiding, and send the illegals to Gitmo, over just those expenses that Our Betters told us would be required to Save Mother Gaia.
Sadly, most of the European nations have proportional representation, so the sensible parties are always a minority, and you wind up with two, three, or four party coalitions of which just manage to keep the sensible parties — AfD, PVV — out of power.
