Disappointing to see @RTE.ie using Dalton's framing of the the meeting in Moate tonight as some sort of open citizens' assembly rather than the special interest lobbying event it is.

The 8 largest fossil fuel companies pocketed an extra $6.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026. I urge governments to tax these windfall profits & use the revenue to support vulnerable families & communities, and accelerate the shift to clean, affordable energy. #FossilFuelTax #WindfallProfits #CleanEnergy #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
