Episode 174

On this week’s Let’s Go Green with Aisling O' Rourke, Liam Coyle, Longford farmer and European Climate Pact Ambassador, joins us to talk about what climate resilience really looks like on the ground and how Irish communities, particularly in rural areas, can better prepare for extreme weather and changing conditions. Rachel Neeson, Senior Manager with the Statistics Team at the Environmental Protection Agency, outlines just how far Ireland is from meeting its recycling targets. She breaks down the latest data, where we are falling short and what needs to change at both a household and national level if we are to meet EU obligations. Martin Mulholland, Commercial Operations Director at Activ8 Energies, explains how businesses can take advantage of a €200 million fund aimed at accelerating solar adoption. He outlines how companies may be eligible for free solar panel installation, what the process involves and the potential long term cost and sustainability benefits.
