It is only applied to companies with excessive profits, above a normal level.

Climate finance supports investments covering both mitigation (avoiding or reducing emissions) and adaptation (changing or adapting to deal with the consequences of climate breakdown that are already happening). Historically, the countries who had most industry (countries in Europe and North America) are responsible for most of the emissions that have caused climate change. That is why, in 2009 at the Copenhagen COP (climate change conference), rich countries committed to mobilising $100 billion / year towards funding the costs of climate change in poorer nations, and to reach that annual target by 2020. This is money owed to the Global South by the countries who did most polluting. Shockingly, many rich countries are instead counting the loans they give as ‘climate finance’ (70% of climate finance is in the form of loans).</span><span> </span></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="layout--bg-white layout layout--onecol padding-horizontal"> <div class="layout--onecol-inner layout-contained"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--content anrt-row"> <div class="text block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktext"> <div class="text__inner"> <h4> </h4> <h3><span lang="EN-GB"><strong>Migration</strong></span><span> </span></h3> </div> </div> <div class="text block block-layout-builder block-inline-blocktext"> <div class="text__inner"> <ul> <li> <h4><span lang="EN-GB">What will you do to make sure that the human rights of migrants, including asylum seekers and refugees are respected both in Ireland and at our EU borders?</span><span> </span></h4> </li> </ul> <p><span lang="EN-GB">By asking questions about protecting the human rights of people who move to Ireland or the EU you are sending a really important message to politicians that you want an Ireland of solidarity and that you reject divisive and hostile rhetoric and policies.

These technologies are enabling both targeted and mass violations of fundamental rights, spreading of misinformation and mobilising violence on an unprecedented scale. This most disproportionately impacts certain groups including women, LGBTQIA+ people, migrants and people living in poverty. The example of the recent spate of riots in Dulin and elsewhere where disinformation was spread online mobilising individuals and leading to violent incidents is a case in point. The rapid rise and evolution of artificial intelligence (A.I.) likewise heralds entirely novel ways in which society, work and human life can be further disrupted without adequate care and attention given to the possible negative outcomes. Meanwhile a handful of technology companies are consolidating massive corporate power with few meaningful regulations, low accountability and enormous profits that are chronically under-taxed. </span><span> </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-GB">The UN affirmed in 2012 and most recently in 2024 that the same rights people have offline, must also be protected online.

Israeli military operations have denied Palestinians critical food aid and basic necessities, which has, in turn, caused conditions approaching famine for 800,000 civilians across Gaza. For more than a month now, zero aid has reached North Gaza and only a trickle to the rest of the strip. It is a crime against humanity to unleash famine upon a population, which Israel has done. Ireland has an opportunity and a responsibility to take a strong stand.
