I know from my own experience that the buy-in from marginalised communities is stronger but that will not cut it. We need change across all communities in urban and rural Ireland. It is a point that frustrates me. They say they believe in climate action, that what is happening in Pakistan and Africa and the droughts are terrible and that they have always voted Green - I get that one a lot - but they really want that parking space outside the front door even though they have a driveway or they do not want a bus route down their street. This is what I come across all the time.
