Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

Addressing the motion gives me the opportunity to inform Deputies opposite who tabled it what is actually happening, since they appear to be totally oblivious to it. It is clear that they are woefully ill-informed and singularly ill-equipped to speak with any authority on renewable energy policy developments, at national and EU levels. It also gives me the opportunity to highlight the hypocrisy of Fine Gael Deputies who tabled the motion. When they had an opportunity to contribute positively to the development of an agreed policy on renewable energy on an all-party basis, they refused that opportunity.
