With spiralling house prices, an insatiable demand for new homes in urban and suburban areas and a building boom set to try to meet this demand, where should we build? Is it possible to redesign communities to densify and ensure good family living or are we set to continue the pattern of more sprawl that locks in car dependence and congestion? To meet the housing demand and needs, Ireland needs...

Duncan Stewart explores what it would mean for Ireland's agricultural system to play it’s fair share in climate change targets. Agriculture in Ireland has come under sharp criticism in recent years, not just for being Ireland’s largest contributor to climate change, but also because it has by far the biggest impact on biodiversity loss and is the sector that is most responsible for the demise i...

Duncan Stewart investigates the relentless demise of Irish towns and asks what is being done now to reverse their decline. Central to how towns survive and thrive is the system of exchange between town centres and the surrounding lands. Up to the 20th century, town centres were bustling with life; families lived above the shops that lined the main-street, food and goods were exchanged in the ma...

    People with money just want to build one-offs in the countryside. It's ludicrous as it's unsustainable, results in a hollowing out of the towns and destroys the landscape. No other developed country is so laissez faire regarding this hugely unsustainable form of "development".

    Moneypoint powerstation was built in the early 80s. It was the future at the time and polish coal imported was the fuel to be used. Now I believe it will switch to oil. As a bord na mona apprentice in Derrygreenagh in the early 80s , Moneypoint was one of my only chances to get a job and stay in ireland....... wasnt to be . Strangely I have worked in the oil and gas for the past 40 years and its now under pressure. I wonder where we will be in 20 years time. Knowing what we know about carbon footprints now , the whole idea of polish coal being imported seems like a daft idea. I wonder how much the goverment held back at the time. I am sure the narrative will change again as we get on the energy "merry go rounds". Looking back , my apprenticeship at Bord Na Mona was the best thing I ever done. All the skills I learned there while becoming a fitter have never let me down. Now a days at the ripe old age of 60 , my job options have never been better as the world is so used to touch screens and no one wants dirty hands it seems!

    We could learn a thing or two from you re: illegal dumping on Vancouver Island: although we certainly have a deposit system here. But old furniture and such? And the deposit system helps, hugely with what we call “ pickers”, the homeless who earn their living off empties. Still a huge amount of litter here, though, and in Vancouver. Hard to know what to do. I work at Regional Recycling, for the record.

    This documentary is already five years old the producers probably won't read this comment but if you do - and there is still some rhododendron left - leave it alone please. There is no such thing as an "invasive species" (except kudzu maybe). I may sound like a hippie but with plants, theres always a reason why they are there. For example: Some time in the early 90's (i think) Impatiens glandulifera was brought to us, by accident. And at first, people were worried it would smother our native plants. So, people resorted to plucking it out, just like you did with the rhododendron. But, it didn't harm any of our plants here. It's now very popular with beekepers because it provides nectar when most other plants are not blooming anymore. And it looks gorgeous and is edible too! So, even if it's not yet clear why it grows in your beautiful oak forests, there most definetely is a reason for it. Just try to observe it in it's new habitat and see which impact it will have. Just a friendly suggestion from a fellow nature lover who would love to visit Ireland 😉

    This is happening all over the UK as well as Ireland. I've been fly fishing for over 40 years and seen the decline. Little fly life left, loss of natural stocks of fish. Land has been drained and nutrients and chemicals spread and natural areas of landscape that filtered and protected a catchment, turned to so-called "improved grazing". Streams that swarmed with fly life and trout are gone or severely depleted. Its utter greed and arrogance encouraged by Govts.

    EWI fitted here (house in the south east of the Netherlands), combined with tripple glazed windows and flat roof insulation, still to do is insulation of the pitched roof and partially the ground floors. Also HRMV and underfloor heating with heat pump still to do, for now I already save 60% on my energy bills, heating is with air to air at the moment which is already proven sufficient to -5°C. The house was rated G, but in practice energy consumption per m² was more like E/F (gas consumption 35000-40000kWh/yr for 210m²) . Energy consumption now akin A and after fitting solar it will rate A++ or even A+++. But I get it certified once everything is done Deep retrofitting is well funded by grants in Ireland, here in the Netherlands it's 30% of the cost at max, a fixed rate per m² of insulation is granted and for heat pumps, solar boilers etc which are listed. But you always have to apply for two measures to get the max of 30%, otherwise they will only grant 15%. And it has to be installed by a certified company, no grants on DIY, this is to guarantee that installation is done correctly, although in practice I would have done a better job in some aspects and often it will also be cheaper even without the grant. EWI and heat pump are/will be done by a contractor however.

    Stupid fuckin' environmentalists. How do they even have the guts to call themselves that? I have no sympathy for such people. They are still infected by the "fall of man" myth from Genesis. "Nature was perfect before humans interferred. So any change that happens in the natural ecosystem as a result of our action must necessarily be bad." That's their half-brained reasoning, not understanding that invasive plants have mostly positive attributes. Their reasoning goes completely against any ecological concepts. Nature spreads it has always done that. Nothing about us spreading seeds across biogeographic barriers is anything new. Also here's the death blow to your dumbass reasoning: Rhododendron ponticum did grow in Britain before the last glacial maximum. Get a grip on facts and stop keeping plant-poison salesmen rich.
