- Duncan Stewart sees groundswell build in face of "massive change”
RTE’s Ecoeye on Feb 4th
showcased the work of an unique LCDP-supported community energy project in
North Tipperary.
Reflecting afterwards on this and a
project he visited on Inis Mor, presenter Duncan Stewart said, “I believe we’re on the cusp
of a massive change… it’s slow but it’s coming."
All credit to the people in Drombane and Upperchurch in Tipperary, as well as
North Tipperary Leader Partnership, for setting the example and showing how it
can be done.
The programme is available to view for 3 weeks on the RTE Player.

Duncan is optimistic about communities showing resilience in the face of climate change:
“Each community needs champions and a committed team. On Aran, it’s a co-operative; in Drumbane and Upperchurch, it was the local energy team. The idea of community energy is beginning to catch on.
