It's after Green Party Deputy Brian Leddin told the chamber it should never have been given permission and would be tantamount to an "act of vandalism" for future generations if built.

He argued it's not compatible with our climate action targets and would increase emissions, scar the landscape, and destroy homes and habitats.

However, speaking to Galway Talks, Councillor Noel Larkin claims the statement is a load of nonsense and nothing but hypocrisy.

He argues if the Green Party were serious about reducing emissions they'd be pushing for affordable electric vehicles.
