I see there’s talk of introducing a ‘cow tax’ to help meet new tough targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions laid out in the EU’s climate change strategy. Proposed levies for gas emissions are: €13 for each dairy cow, €7 for non dairy cow and €1 for sheep.
What about a levy on gas emissions from Leinster House, say €1,000 for each member? Such a levy would greatly reduce deadly gas emissions and make a significant contribution to improving the environment.
