The Last Word with Matt Cooper · The Last Word On The Environment: The Climate Act · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

What environmental NGO has botched the National Children's Hospital that is overrun by about a billion and a half euros, that is years behind and is a complete and absolute failure of politics,

political oversight and administration.

So there's no handy NGO to kick around for that one.

So who do they want to blame?

How about...

Simon Harris, he was the Minister for Health.

Would he like to explain how come that project has completely gone under the bus?

So what we have here is an opportunity, as they see it, as Jack Chamber sees it, this is a great opportunity to take some projects that would never pass muster.

And I'll give you a couple of examples.

Sneaking in the return of an LNG project on the West Coast, that would absolutely fail all climate tests.

So that would fail our 2021 Climate Act.

The other one, of course, is expanding capacity at Dublin Airport.

That too would be an immediate fail versus our Climate Act.

So what we're doing here is they're deciding, right, these are things that we know full well are going to make the situation in Ireland worse.

They're going to make our non-compliance worse.

They're going to increase the likelihood of fines.

But you know what?

We don't care.

Well, OK, if we're going to build and we have to build infrastructure, it has to be climate-proofed.

It has to work within our climate objectives.
