Elaine Loughlin: Sinn Féin is all about change — except when it comes to climate

Despite its bid to become the party of government, Sinn Féin gives away precious little about its position on climate change 

Sinn Féin claims to be all about change, except when it comes to climate. As parts of Europe literally burn with record-breaking temperatures and wildfires taking hold, Mary Lou McDonald’s party has no opinion on what the agriculture sector, the largest emitter of greenhouses gases in this country, should be asked to do to as part of wider carbon reduction targets.

This is the party which just last week was apparently ready to force an election with a vote of no confidence and go into government.
