The People Before Profit party has pledged free public transport, interest free loans for retrofitting and a pollution tax on airline corporations as part of its climate action policy. People Before Profit says it could reduce emissions in the residential sector by 66 per cent by 2030 through its proposals. Combining all of the measures, it claims there would be a 53 per cent reduction in Ireland’s overall emissions. Mr Boyd Barrett said that “being green is not a colour and it’s not a political brand. And I really feel the public are owed the truth about about these things.”He said People Before Profit has “the most radical” green policies.
