@TraceyLeeHolmes Sounds like the criticism is still eating away at him with that outpouring. Next steps for Gianni - admit Russia in all forms of all sports because- you know, peace and all that.
@renew_economy We really need to talk more about inertial storage infrastructure as a long term investment without being scared of the cost. Batteries on the grid should only be relied on for frequency control, nothing more.
@AmbVasyl@francisjfarrell Was shown on SBS tonight but also is on demand app. Conviction politicians would be calling Russia a terrorist state. @AlboMP please be a conviction leader for a world first.
@jason_corcoran@NewstalkFM Thanks for the informative chat.
Australia was not mentioned, but it was decisive and found alternative markets for Alumina. Ireland instead took over Australian market share to Russia - no moral backbone in the nation it seems. @kajakallas
@AoifeMFoley@jason_corcoran@NewstalkFM Your words, Prof, fail to have any insight. You don’t examine alternative markets and fail to grasp any alternative options to plant closure.
Ireland needs to be more like Australia.

@Limerick_Leader Thanks for providing the Leader’s belated first report on Irish supporting Russia via alumina supply.
Lacking, is whether there exists an Irish moral conviction to find alternative markets for the same product without job loss - you know, like Australia did. #Alumina21
@Limerick_Leader Meanwhile a Limerick company chooses to send its Aluminium to Russia instead of Europe to help kill Ukrainians.
But this story doesn’t seem to be important?
Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency
He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t
🚨In 2018, only 16% of Aughinish Alumina’s Alumina output went to Russia.
They now claim for the first quarter of 2026 that it is 51%.
This represents a 218.75% increase in exports to Russia pre and post war.
Are we approaching proof of (in)direct assistance? #Alumina21
Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
I’ve been wondering why local news here in Limerick hasn’t been reporting the truth about the russian refinery and just noticed the biggest paper here took 5M € government funding from a minister who has defended the plant. Absolutely disgraceful. You cannot call yourself a journalist if you take government money. Explains a lot
