Sinners against abortion. Hence why they are left-leaning and conservative! 
 
Peadar Tobin TD for Meath West, ex SF formed Aontu after he publically called for a No vote in the R8 referendum. 
 
Unlikely to be re-elected - Navan quite a SF stronghold. They'll vote for the party and not the individual.

It’s actually remarkable how many independent parties are running in this election. Several have their genesis in other parties, while others are organic. I think this will be the first election for some, for others I suspect their first and last, and others their last.

He's smaller than Michael D so my guess is he's tinchy.

The Green party have no hope outside of Dublin after Eamon Ryan said cattle needed to be reduced by 50%.

They would lose the vegan vote too if half the cattle were culled.

It’s why the “veganism” saves the planet mantra makes no sense. How do you engineer the reduction of cattle in a way that accords with the vegan lifestyle? Also, even if consumption is reduced the vegan lifestyle would require not milking them (which has its major benefits), and that wouldn’t even make a noticeable dent in the creation of methane which is a greenhouse gas.

I think the more the Greens talk in granular detail during this election the more likely they are to make small increases, but in very localised areas.

I was in at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition a few weeks back and some kids had done a study on Veganism in Ireland as an approach to saving the planet. In summary, it is worse for the environment to be a vegan in Ireland as in order to get the equivalent calories, protein etc. the necessary foods are not grown in Ireland and the carbon emissions to ship those foods to Ireland, has a far greater impact than your typical carnivorous diet.

Were they sponsored by the beef industry?  Probably farmers sons and daughters.

I thought the same but they were city kids, if I remember correctly, and hoped for a different outcome. If anything, they have identified a niche market for growing lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, or whatever you are having yourself, here in Ireland.

I'm not a veggie but I have to say I have gone right off red meat and have no real liking for it apart from burgers etc.  Never was a fan of steak or roast beef etc.  Lamb chops and beef you cut open and you can just see all the sticky fat marbled through it.  Fairly disgusting tbh.  I like chicken and sausages and stuff.

Not everyone that’s vegan does it to save the planet though, a lot of them just don’t like to see animals being killed!

There was a post on here before about people in Ireland making their dogs sick by putting them on vegan diets.
