Theyād to build a fairly substantial park and ride up the road here as a lot of the lads going up and down to Dublin every day were car pooling and leaving loads of cars and vans alongside the hard shoulder. I know plenty of people in the country who have car pooled over the years. Itās doable.

Clearly Eaman Ryan enslaved them all.
Below in Danesfort close to the motorway, always cars parked there with lads carpooling.
The irony 
Where do you work yourself?
Semantics I know, but the Greens are advocating we as a country move from the traditional model and diverisfy into plant only operations. Thats insanity and again I ask the question how does the world feed itself in this scenario?
Are we all to become vegan?
People donāt choose to live in the countryside. They are born there. It is their home.
Also there is no public transport in the countryside like there is in Dublin for instance.
A car is needed to get around.
It is unreasonable to ask people to carpool. How about all the people around Dublin who drive to work when there is public transport? Ask those fuckers to carpool.
It was a ridiculous suggestion that made him look utterly detached from rural Ireland.
Iām not advocating going vegan, but you are correct, the world can produce a vast amount more food and sustain far more people if if people were vegan. Thatās a pretty basic fact.
Semantics should be accompanied by a degree of accuracy.
The advocacy there is for a majority of plant based production. Thatās a long way from āplant only.ā
Itās also an encouragement to evolveā¦ not an overnight switch that you referenced earlier.
People choose where they live. Thereās different factors involved but it is a choice.
Iād absolutely be in favour of banning anyone from driving to work in Dublin.
Also, isnāt carpooling a thing that most people do all the time anyway? Especially in the country? Itās pretty normal and basic to share school runs and even more beneficial to people in rural areas? Iām not sure I really understand your objection.
You lecture but you havenāt a fucking notion.

Youāve obviously never built a house in rural Ireland
Great to see the round bales being drawn this evening. Farmers are the best of us in fairness.

The vast majority anyway. Maybe disabled people or people working in emergency services need cars. Thereās no need to drive to work in Dublin for the vast majority of people.
I shouldnāt really indulge this but are you suggesting that someone who is born in the country and decides to live in the country should somehow be penalised because he drives a car to get around?
Where did I lecture anyone dimwit?
