The European Commission has taken Ireland to Europe’s highest court over the alleged lack of enforcement of EU rules when it comes to peat cutting. Following years of friction between the Government and the Commission on the issue, the EU’s executive body today referred Ireland to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for failure to comply with EU rules on environmental impact assessments. In a statement, the Commission said Ireland had failed to comply with the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive.>
it’s long overdue!
(while they’re at it, they should also take ireland to court for all its data centres & planned future data centres; & for allowing US planes to refuel in & bring weapons through shannon. the EU wouldn’t ignore things that are terrible for the environment but profitable, right…? 👀)
Didn’t they allocate 200 billion euro for AI and data centres just a few days ago? 🙃
i’m begging politicians to figure out that they can’t eat, drink, or breathe money & that they need the environment in order to continue being alive 😭
