Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)

If the Minister is not up to the challenge, the Green Party is. We will improve building standards to ensure people have warmer homes that cost less to heat. We will provide Luas lines in cities other than Dublin and to communities in Dublin stuck without a decent public transport system. We will tackle urban sprawl instead of giving carte blanche to developers to build housing estates in every far flung corner of Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. We are up to the challenge of climate change and I am not sure the Minister is.
