Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

The overall new investment being facilitated by the Government amounts to more than €400 million and is a clear indication of its commitment to the development of a vibrant renewable energy sector in Ireland.

In tandem with our initiatives to support renewable energy deployment, the Government is encouraging consumers to think about energy usage. Deputies are undoubtedly familiar with my Department's Power of One campaign, which was launched last year and will continue into the future.
