It is legal, though, isn’t it, to burn non smokeless coal in Cork City, Dublin, etc?
Just not legal to buy it or have it delivered?
Trying to heat a sitting room with smokeless coal is like trying to get pissed on 0.4% “alcohol free” beer.
I'd imagine you'll be reported to the authorities in double quick time and if I might say so- Proper order too.
I do my bit for the environment, but obviously I’m not 100% compliant.
I did when I paid my water charges and look where that got me!Any chance you could think of others?
So you need a ban to change your behaviour? Interesting outlook you have there.When the ban is made nationwide I’ll change my behaviour.
Using up smokey fuels you you have already bought and actively trying to buy new smokey fuels are two different things.I assume residents of Douglas, Ballincollig etc, are burning off their remaining supplies of house coal, that they didn’t simply dump it in the black bin when the boundary changes took effect earlier this year.
Not to continue to rag on you here, but "environmentally unfriendly" is quite a vague term. Yes turf produces more CO2 than coal, which is bad for the macro environment (climate change), but coal releases signifcantly more NOx than turf and NOx is the one that hangs around your locality and poisons your neighbours. NOx is what has turned everybody against diesel, even though diesel engines tend to generate signifcianly less CO2 than petrol. Not dying of cancer from NOx emissions seems to be taking precedence over climate change at the moment...Interesting. I’m relieved that they mention peat and wood as polluters too.
Turf, not house coal, is the most environmentally unfriendly of the open fire/stove fuels.
