Fine particulates are also introduced into the environment from tyre wear and brake linings (significant quantities) and from biomass combustion. Coarser particulates predominately come from soil/land erosion and mining. Also if the idea is that electric cars are somehow a panacea , if we were...

Au Contraire! the vast majority who opposed the insane construct of Irish Water (nothing but a billing operation to commodify and privatize Irish water resources supported by the Loony Right FF/FG civil war terrorists), voted with their feet and forced by a Democratic mandate and ethical civil...

I would expect a sneaky deal was done to expedite her departure http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/howlin-demands-full-transparency-on-osullivan-severance-package-805479.html Labour leader Brendan Howlin has demanded there must be “complete transparency” on the severance package...

And no mention of the disgusting behavior of successive Irish governments allowing Shannon airport to be used (abused) for rendition flights without inspecting any of the American military aircraft! [broken link removed] "In addition to some European states having hosted secret CIA detention...

Very few are saying they do not want to pay for water. What the government is being told by the electorate is that tax payers already pay for water through the general taxation system, which for water charges is currently progressive and fair. There is also a genuine fear that the new HSE style...

try walking around O'Connell St and the quays the amount of junkies you may witness injecting in public is a disgrace ! I do agree that the diabetic could be a little more discrete but be aware they may have required that medicine urgently

once again Irish Water charges are set as a vicious regressive tax. Irish people already pay for their water and distribution network via general taxation. Even a die hard neo-con can easily see the entire configuration of Irish Water is a mess and utterly over staffed and over priced.If more...

My personal friends in the Gardai tell me they would collapse the court system if they summonsed all of the cyclists that they personally witness "break" the rules of the road and generally and generally ignore it. The only Gardai that will address a law breaking cyclist is a member of the...

Labour have done a terrible job in government. The electorate were promised a new way of "doing politics" and both FG/Labour had massive public support to do so. In return every election pledge by Labour was dumped by them and FG attacked middle income earners ferociously for numerous...

They truly were and the rememnats still are, the most incompetent bunch of vegetables ever inflicted on politics!

If the government lived up to its pre-election pledges of openness and transparancy Callinan would have been sacked along with Shatter. Shatter at the very least should now resign as the longer he hangs on the credibility of the government will sink further into the mire. It was highly...

The Fifth Gear TV program did a very good lab test on various fuel additves and the results were very negative under decent testing conditions. Posters may enjoy watching this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKxJfXfD6mg

The honourable thing that Shatter should have done is resign, if there was an ounce of probitiy in the current government he would be pushed!

On the contrary at least Mick Wallace spoke truthfully in the Dail today raising extremely important points, unlike the government untruths, PR spin, obfuscation and downright contempt for Democracy as spouted by Kenny and friends!

If a decent and brave Garda "whistleblower" is treated this way (highlighting penalty points and much,much worse issue) http://www.broadsheet.ie/2014/02/18/garda-confidential-2/ I do not belive the OP would have a leg (cycling or otherwise!) to stand on.

For what its worth... I had great fun driving a relatives Nissan Leaf in the UK some time ago for a week or two . Can I mention MPG? (Should be miles per Watt or something:) ) Anyway after a full charge I was lucky to get 60 - 65 miles of mixed driving and if I had the air con on & de-mister...

If Bord Gais energy was correctly run as a semi-state instead of being sold off as part of a lousy deal by the government to pay for the unsecured Bondholders/Banking crisis, the cost of energy the consumer would be much lower.

Driving in form the south side into Dublin via e.g. Donnybrook, the "traffic engineers" have added an additional 10 seconds to the timing of the red traffic lights along the route. You can imagine the knock on effect with commuting times:rolleyes: You also have more commuters using their cars...

If you want to talk about fair and equitable, well, it appears that Revenue has been tasked by the government to get in as much "tax" as early as possible without any thoughts of the consequences for hard pressed tax payers. Or the impact it may have on discretionary Christmas spending...

I am happy for you that you are well and able to look after yourself. I occasionally do some work with, lets say, less healthy elderley folk than yourself and to see the worry and anguish created by the government instructing Revenue to gather property tax via the letter they sent is a disgrace.
