Brian Leddin (Limerick City, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I will pick up on that. I find it staggering that there is no regulation of district heating because it is not new. We have had district heating systems for decades, going back to social housing schemes. Dr. McGowan is saying that it is clearly not the role of the CRU, which has not been given the powers to regulate. That is something that the Oireachtas should pick up because it seems that if the energy supplier in any scheme goes belly-up and cannot pay the gas prices, then many people could be without heat. They are very vulnerable.

I thank Deputy Bríd Smith and call on Senator Dooley next.
