Green Party wants to double population of Ireland

Robbing from future generations to pay for current generation's needs and whims is the very definition of unsustainability.   

Dail Debates

Eamon Ryan, the Green Party leader, wants to bring in refugees on a vast scale so that the population of Ireland will double to 10 million. In the same speech he talks about "sustainable development goals". Bringing in more refugees on this scale will require a larger welfare state, which in turn will require increased government spending, which in turn means higher taxes and even higher budget deficits and debt than we have now (currently € 214 billion and counting). This robs from future generations to pay for current generation's needs and whims. The very definition of unsustainability.   

Housing these refugees will require tonnes of concrete, less green areas, more energy and hence more fossil fuels as current renewable technology is incapable of providing reliable cheap energy. 

The very definition of unsustainability.
