Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I look forward to working with the Minister for Finance on spending the €1.7 billion to which he referred yesterday on electricity and gas networks so we can turn key businesses like the ESB and Bord Gáis towards this crucial new agenda, which is to reduce our use of energy to achieve the productivity gains to which the Minister referred. I look forward to working in Government to deliver broadband in a way that allows our society to become innovative and clean in how we do our work.
