Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I will respond to the points Deputy Broughan has raised, even though they are not relevant to this Bill. While they are fully understood, they are best dealt with in the context of further policy developments. Consultations in respect of the energy Green Paper are ongoing and seek to determine what further work should be done to alleviate fuel poverty. Serious consideration will be given to whatever proposals emerge. We should stick to the subject matter of the Bill in the meantime.
