CHEAP RELIABLE CLEAN WIND ENERGY    Wind Energy Ireland said there was a significant difference between the windiest days when the price was €256 and the least windy days when it climbed to €295.

It argues that this is saving money for Irish consumers and is also delivering much increased profits for wind developers.

The Commission for the Regulation of Utilities recently predicted wind farms could earn an average of €330 a megawatt hour in the year from next October – six times the price predicted two years ago.


 THE COST OF FREE WIND HASENT GONE UP WHY ARE THEY CHARGING MORE FOR IT ? If it quacks like a Scam and waddles like a scam .ITS A SCAM

Because the leprechauns got unionised.  They're refusing to magic the free wind into the high voltage transmission wires unless they get paid for it...

They had thought of using very expensive hi-tech equipment and highly educated people to convert the wind into electricity but the leprechauns worked out better in the end.  Good for tourism too!

With reference to Guidelines for the Acceptance of Cashless Payments in Taxis (June 2022) and S.I. No. 294 of 2022 I would be obliged if you could clarify the following:

Should technological failures prevent the on-demand processing of a card presented for payment of a fare and the passenger, perhaps unusually, declines any discussion of an amicable solution (as suggested within Guidelines for the Acceptance of Cashless Payments in Taxis, June 2022) and, in doing so, advises the driver that he (the driver) is legally obliged to accept the card payment (Part 1, Section 4, Subsection(b), S.I. No, 294 of 2022) and that he (the driver) is legally barred from recording any personal details (including but not limited to name, address, (digital) imagery, etc) relevant to said client (Part 1, Section 5, S.I. No, 294 of 2022), does the driver retain any legal entitlement to be paid and, if so, how can such a debt be enforced. In particular, would a driver presented with such a scenario be within his rights to summon An Garda Siochana and forcibly detain the client pending the arrival of a member of said force?

Regards,

Stephen O'Connell

You might not be able to take their name and address while processing the card because the only data you need at that point is on the card.  But if it fails, you'd be taking the name and address for a different reason and that would probably be legal?

Can't see them answering that bolded question.  Or if they do, it'll be to trust our dedicated hardworking Gardai to sort things out.  They're the only crowd legally allowed to use violence in this Republic.  So much for equality

As it happenss, I have many questions... including the deposit issue touched on by Watty and if one needs a DO licence and/or a seat on TAC to apply "technology" fees and what might reasonably constitute use of or access to "technology"...

However, I'll wait for a substantive response to the first question first.

My breath , and typing finger are already bated for the follow up.

She may be rite c5 ....but she has no rite to say antin .....she's a politicians wife .....

The President IS NOT A POLITICIAN .He is the Executive Branch ,The Dail are Politicians and the Courts are the 3rd branch of Government .What we had was a failed Coup led by a FF Senator .We have a Separation of Powers .A Senator should not comment on the President .A Previous President quit after being called out by a Government Minister for doing his Job and referring a Government bill to the Courts . Trump and Boros and Leo /Mick From Cork are all anti Democrats they change the rules when it suits .

This is gone fucken nuts, ya can't question anything in any subject if it goes against the brainwashed masses, that live in a imaginary world everything that they is fact and everything else is conspiracy theories and misinformation. But basically they prodded and poked Russia on nato, they said its not happening in 2008 and the years that followed, the the usa started funding Ukraine in getting rid of 17% of the population in was Ukraine that happen to be Russian.the Minsk agreement was completely ignored. And here we are today the wife of the Irish president asking for talks to end this conflict and she gets attacked by ill-informed virtue signalling morans, even amnesty international was attacked for say Ukrainian troops were placing weaponry in or beside civilian structures, and then The news comes on, Russian troops hit a school,Russian troops hit a hospital, Russian troops hit a crèche etc etc. But the fact is Russia will not give back what they've taken over and that the longer this goes on without talks more of Ukraine will be taken over. So Sabrina Higgins was 100% right in what she said.
