Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

The heavies have to come from some side because I have not heard any of them yet.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to inform Deputies once again of the extensive and effective range of policies the Government has introduced to support renewable and sustainable energy in Ireland and in particular to outline current and future initiatives in bio-fuels. I am disappointed that Fine Gael has chosen to introduce a Bill which, however well-meaning, cannot be supported by Government for the simple reason that it would contravene EU law.
