The party's spokes person goes ahead:

"He is not waiting for the go-ahead, he says, and has ordered panels for his own balcony already."

@myuser Hello Daz :)

Suddenly a role model: How Great Britain wants to emulate the German solar boom

I found this article online,maybe of interest in the connection with the new war:

Atom power doesn't seem to work in this crisis.It didn't during the last crisis.And not during the one before.

Hello Juri and Andred (and Mona if you're here?)

I am thinking we could have some way of discussing / chatting about the way forward for plug in solar in Ireland. Wondering what the best way of communicating is. Some options:

- a whatsapp group

- a signal group

- an email list (I could set one up on framagroupes)

- a slack channel for Ireland in the wider slack workspace set up by Craig (https://join.slack.com/t/masplug/shared_invite/zt-3qa2xjop0-Lyz~Jnm24lNEQLtVewuvtw)

- continuing to use this forum Craig set up (but then we would have remind ourselves to log in here sometimes)

Some updates are that Barry Heneghan TD has an interest in this and raised a PQ about it here

https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/question/2026-02-10/277/

If you're still interested in being part of the movement for plug-in solar in Ireland, please let me know what your preferred mode of communication is so we can progress things, post updates to each other etc. My email is elaine_baker@yahoo.com

Thanks

Elaine

I would vote for a Signal group @elainebaker 🫡
