Ireland’s Aughinish Alumina plant, launched in 1978 as the nation’s second-largest industrial investment, remains Europe’s largest alumina refinery — a 40-year powerhouse fueled by a still-running 160-megawatt combined heat and power system. Built by Irish teams from scratch, it’s a rare triumph of domestic engineering, generating 115 megawatts for the national grid — enough to power 100,000 homes — while quietly powering itself with 45 megawatts. Amid today’s debates over sanctions and waste, this icon stands as proof that Ireland can master massive industrial projects, even if it’s not traditionally known for them.

Ireland is seriously considering a generational smoking ban—anyone born after January 1, 2009, would never legally be able to buy tobacco, aiming to phase out smoking entirely over decades. This bold move, already enacted in the UK, is part of a broader “Tobacco Free Ireland” strategy to combat tobacco’s deadly toll—still killing nearly 100 people weekly. Alongside the ban, officials are exploring mandatory cigarette appearances, expanded vaping cessation services, and increased funding for quitting support, all targeting a future where smoking is obsolete and vaping is no longer appealing.
