The Greens are pledging to transform the delivery of homes and wastewater infrastructure in Clare.
Minister for State at the Department of Agriculture Senator Pippa Hackett and Deputy Leader Senator Roisín Garvey have launched the party’s rural manifesto this lunchtime at St.Tola’s Goat Farm in Inagh.
The policy promises to introduce affordable housing projects across all towns and villages, the development of 200 bike, car sharing and EV charging hubs and to entice more young people into farming through tax incentives and environmental grants.
Speaking at the launch, Minister Hackett has been defending her record on ACRES and telling Clare FM’s Daragh Dolan issues with succession planning in the sector are due to failures of their coalition colleagues.
