Irish people marched in our tens of thousands in 2025 to demand peace, justice, and self-determination for the Palestinian people. The Occupied Territories Bill, if enacted, would indicate intent and provide an example for other states. The system in Ireland is graduated and requires 40 years of contributions to get the full contributory pension. Furthermore, developing native energy sources would lower Ireland’s CO2 equivalent emissions twelvefold and 45 times lower than the proposed LNG facility. It is grossly irresponsible to ignore the multiple advantages of developing Ireland’s indigenous energy resources.
