@davidduffy3021 unfortunately young people are still not coming out to vote, less than 60% of the population voted in the last election, and most of them were in the over 40 category, things cannot change if voting is left to the same people voting the same government in everytime, I'm gobsmacked that we're back to a FF/FG lead government again.
This is 100% true. However there is also a large older generation population who are letting down the younger generation by just insisting to not vote for change.
@bernardmolloy6241 both my parents are in their 80s & voted for change, we need the young vote, I know people on their 20s who couldn't be bothered going out to vote yet are vocal online about the state of the government, plenty of older people want change but yes, lots of older people still vote the same way they always did.
Delighted your parents did. My parents, aunts, uncles etc voted for FF/FG, I can tell you that !!! Theres this thing that if you vote for your local FF/FG, sure theyre sound + “ive known them for years”, unlike those bigger FF/FG ones in cabinet !!! Yes younger people need to vote. But there are younger people that do. They think theres no point which obviously doesnt help.

I find it very hard to believe this election was honest. Every person I spoke to in the run up to the "election" and in tbe course of conversations, no one was voting for anyone in this government. As for the hospitals, my grand daughter was 22 houres in the ED.
Who do you think would’ve been better SF? No matter how you voted the same clowns were going to be back in. As for SF their leader is the same woman that said she’d keep having referendums until she gets a yes vote to dismantle the family all part of the WWF plan and you think she’s better for the country?
Everyone is so incompetent. Powerless...paid to do jobs and all they do is make excuses. So many issues like this. Transport disabled kids education hospice care for elderly everything...not even just that but sewage every department is full of complete inept arsholes that will spend a million quid and all their bresth telling you why they cant do something rather than get up and do what needs doing. Its a disgrace.
This is all down to the forestry companies, who have been allowed - by the idiots who handed out the planning permits - to plant Sitka spruce all along active power lines.
It is unwise to rely on State services, get off grid, do it one part at a time as you can afford it. We have been off grid for over 10years, we knew this State irresponsibility was coming, they don't care about any of us, so you really must provide for yourself.
He’s spot on! Common sense is the rarest thing now in Ireland! And pascal said we don’t need an independent non government body to keep an eye on the country’s finances wonder why?
Was in Portugal as a tourist, got three messages from the local administration and the federal government warning me of slightly heavy rainfall and potential of flooding. But with all the storm done not a single message.
I really feel for this man, his family and for all the unheard carers of the sick and vulnerable at home without power 5 days later. It is truly shocking that people both rurally and in the towns have no backup whilst the network is under stress. We can only conclude that ESB crews are under resourced at the best of times.

This goverment is able to send people and any amount of aid to other country but forget our own in emergency its people that voted those traitors back in I don't feel sorry for this man is 100 percent right
We need a Trump in this country but we'll never get it because we as a country are too self-righteous. Obsessed with showing and telling the rest of the world "Aren't we great". You reap what you sow.
The amount of money effort and planning that's gone into accommodating criminals from around the world while neglecting rural Ireland and it's working class who pay for the criminals. I feel sorry for people down that part of the country apart from FF,FG voters it's what they voted for it's what they should expect
The Irish taxpayer also foots the bill for €440K per EACH brand-new house for Ukrainians to live in for FREE! Plus free healthcare, food, utilities, benefits, etc. etc. The Irish govt have said their "moral obligation" is to provide a better life for unlimited numbers of non-Irish nationals, and yet the govt get voted back in for 5 more years, while young Irish workers are leaving in droves for a better life elsewhere!
That is because power production plants have been decommissioned and destroyed, and because unreliable wind turbines have been commissioned. The more turbine are put up, the more frequent the power cuts will be.
6 days and counting with no water, I'm driving 10km to have a shower, in this day & age pump stations should have generators to stop this happening, €350k on a bike shed? Any money in the kitty for generators?
Yeah, the lines are underground in towns and villages in Ireland too. Ireland is a bit unique in the number of one off houses in rural Ireland. It means the Irish electricity board has a massive overhead network in rural areas.
I agree with Mark. This government does nothing to help the working class tax payers. We fund the running of the country and we're given nothing in exchange. The last budget gave us nothing! And he's right, it's 2025 and one gust of wind and we're all left without electricity. My electricity was out for 2 days, everything in the freezer in the bin! And I also blame the voters!
I feel so much for these people who should never have to face such dire conditions. I do hope tho that they will change their votes next elections if they voted for the current government! Meanwhile Billions (of our taxes) are funnelled into housing (a clear majority of-) people who want to get onto the gravy train.
Maybe look at your role in asking real difficult questions to government and demanding the changes that need to happen, rather than pretending to be impartial. The press is sold to the government and just as guilt. Mark is right too, people need to vote better.
He is absolutely right and it’s actually the same in other countries in Europe the governments just talk talk talk and make it more complicated and expensive for the normal people. All the best for you all
The fact is that all the money that will be spent on the re connections should be spent on removing cables from rotten poles and laying them underground. It is not a difficult project to achieve. Also all Landowners must be ordered to fell trees growing along roadways.......
The cost of putting thousands and thousands of miles of high voltage distribution power lines underground would be astronomical and totally impractical. All the thousands of transformers and electrical switchgear etc. which are presently up on poles would have to be housed in buildings and fenced compounds in farmers fields, not to mention the trenches for the cables. Its out of the question I’m afraid.
@davidpryle3935 There has to be a better and more efficient way than what is there at present!!! I would like to see perhaps a designated area of around 2-3 miles with all cables underground. complete with all transformers in place. Relate and compare cost to what is happening at present. One day soon a man swinging out of the top of a pole will look archaic , ridiculous... and insane!!
@@paulmcardle9542 Not really Paul ! If you go to places like the Bronx in New York City or the mighty city of Tokyo in Japan the power lines are overhead, never mind scattered rural areas in Ireland.
@davidpryle3935 Ok! acknowledge that. When this disaster is sorted ,the Government has to tackle this situation head on..All trees to be felled near power lines right across the country......They after all do the damage.....
A lot of people are pointing to conspiracies of rigged votes etc. but I would argue they don't need to rig votes when they have a dependable cohort of OAPs and those that live on dole that will sit drooling and amnesiac during the government's ineptitude and negligence but perk up when they hear the pension and dole will be increased. There are also a lot of people in Ireland that have the "everything's fine with me Jack" attitude but don't see that having a highly out of touch and unspecialised political class that just think and speak in cliche will lead to an accumulation of problems when they inevitably arrive. I mean when disaster hits and the government is on permanent holiday what results do people expect? The west of Ireland are basically treated as serfs to keep the Dublin elite on a kind of fantasy gravy train, built on nothing and about as interested in solving problems as the elites of Versailles before the French Revolution and we all know how that went eh folks?
...just to add, they're going around the country at the moment fitting these smart meters in! How much is that costing? We don't need smart meters.. we need our cables underground!
I feel so sorry for this man I’ve experienced the same frustration trying to deal with services my children have left the country for a better standard of living that is absolutely true we are completely on own because no one cares or do they have to be accountable god help all of us
Unless its foreign affairs no one in the government is interested in anything here , even down to the president who seems more interested in upsetting the Jewish community than anything else.
This “problem” is not new, landowners with trees that are a potential hazard to power lines should accept their responsibilities and remove the trees ( you might even get a grant to do so if you whinge hard enough). Plant replacement trees away from power lines.
@@User-r5g5f the landowners own the land, the land owner even owns “the easement” along the road adjacent to his land. That’s why the ESB get the landowners permission before erecting poles and are obliged to inform the landowner of their intention to go on the land to work on existing lines.
We need ordinary people to be politicians, not doctors, teachers, landlords, or career politicians. We need business owners, engineers, nurses, etc in government. Our system makes it impossible to go against the big parties, as they all prick about and keep their party in, because in the end that's all that matters to them.
And they want even more money by reducing speed limit instead of understanding which road need to be reduced speed versus others which don't need. They will get money to spend on what????? Their benenefit again and not the tax payers. Disgusting gangster they are.
I agree with the man 100%, but if people haven't learned their lesson with the "shur it'll be grand" attitude when it comes to politics in this country they deserve every hard time to come and by the looks of it there is plenty of them
In 2024 I got a message for my electricity provider asking to let them know if there was any reason I could not do without electricity. They would have made sure I had electricity if I had any medical equipment that needed to be kept on so what happened to this gentleman?
I have an 8 month old, and we are still out of power. The house is freezing. Thank god we have a range cooker. Otherwise, we would be in a worse situation... im so fed up now. They scheduled to fix it yesterday evening, but it was rescheduled to friday 9pm now..
and the day the storm was coming - the headline was the row in the Dail - what a laugh.... the next day he was put in office- and that was priority- that should have all been parked until this was dealt with
Well done Ff/FG another fine mess you've gotten us into again. Any accountability at all? Is there ever? It is no surprise the youth are running away from the place in their droves. The place is a joke! How are the holidays coming along?
Go for a walk or drive and look up overhead and take note of how much electrical intrastructure is attached to half rotten and decaying wooden poles, next major power outage is ready and waiting to happen.
Better to put the electricity, and communications cables underground. We did that in the Netherlands and had zero problems. In the long run, it's an investment that pays for itself, and it's just common sense when your country borders the Atlantic conveyor and North Sea.
@@davidpryle3935 We're paying for it right now. Why not instead use that money once instead of over and over and over again. And as far as rural Ireland goes, you like your Fresh Irish Milk, yes? We like our cows, and we need power to milk them and keep them warm in winter so you can have milk at your city shops.
I find it comical that Irish water come out with statement that it's Logistical impossible to have one generator per pump station Joke complete joke. She estimated 8000 would be required so what Comple bike stations would cover And where is the leadership O sorry their on holidays
Im sorry i do feel sorry for that family the esb are up the walls doing there best they cant be every where there is alot of stories like this in the country when your out in the country ur fked
Im confused i voted for change and it didn't happen but what can the government do when we have 183kph winds and destroying the trees? Does he think sinn fein would do different
Mark is right. This country has money for everything except improving the lives of ordinary people.
able to build a bike shed that cost hundreds of thousands if it was one of their houses it could be done straight away
They knocked down sheltered benches in bantry town square, replaced it with a sign and it cost €670,000. The electorate are morons. I never considered emigrating but I'm very close to it.

I herd a engineer on radio this morning saying all the information is on Facebook with no power
