Dara WynneHOST
I think they're gone down.
Dara WynneHOST
And I think we had a little joke beforehand about how we used to be able to talk about Eamon Ryan on the podcast.
Dara WynneHOST
And when the Greens were in government, there was stuff happening, whether we agree with the direction or the policies they had.
Dara WynneHOST
But there were initiatives being discussed and legislation being developed and stuff like that.

It was revived a couple of years later by Pascal Donoghue, then the Minister for Transport.

And it was announced again in 2022 by Eamon Ryan, the then Minister for Transport.

Dara O'Brien is now the Transport Minister with this on his hands and it is in his constituency.

And he said he understands and knows more than... anybody else about the cynicism around the actual delivery of this project because he lives where it's been promised for so long.

Couple of years, they gave in recess, and then suddenly they were back with Eamon Ryan as leader.

John HallyPANELIST
And where are they now?
Daniel McConnellGUEST

Yeah

It's like that when the nature restoration law was brought in there in 2024.

And Eamon Ryan was a huge, huge part of that.
Louise FrenchGUEST
But there was one kind of deciding vote.
Louise FrenchGUEST
And the deciding vote was an Austrian politician, MP.

Hang on.
Matt CooperHOST
Isn't that one of Eamon Ryan's big ideas as climate minister?

Barry WhiteCORRESPONDENT
They've lobbied the government for years.
Barry WhiteCORRESPONDENT
Like I've, I've shown email correspondence from the Irish Parking Association going as far back, um, as Eamon Ryan, where they were asking for, you know, parking fines to be brought in where they can have access to people's number plates and addresses so they can send the fines out to their homes.
Barry WhiteCORRESPONDENT
But the government says, said no.
Barry WhiteCORRESPONDENT
They think that clamping is the, the best way currently.
