It is only a matter of time. The clock is already ticking and has ticked down a lot.

There is talk about the State’s dependency on fossil fuel imports. It is argued that because the Bill prohibits the direct support of fossil fuels it will potentially prevent investment in strategic infrastructure required to carry from Britain or elsewhere energy supplies which originated from fossil fuels. Is that a valid suggestion? These are some points the Minister will make before the committee and it is important for us to hear counterarguments in that regard.
