Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources has closed down a highly important grant aid scheme for householders to introduce renewable energy systems into their homes. Will the Taoiseach address this issue? While the Green Party does not intend to keep an eye on Fianna Fáil, perhaps Fianna Fáil should keep an eye on the Green Party in respect of the termination of a scheme to support householders.

The scheme was ended by the Minister and Members received a promise of a Supplementary Estimate. However, the Minister for Finance has indicated there is no sign of a Supplementary Estimate. Will the Taoiseach ensure the introduction of a Supplementary Estimate, albeit for the greatly emasculated scheme now proposed by the Green Party?
