Electricity Generation.
1:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
I do not have legislation planned in that regard. It is not completely down to the market. That is not what I said. Any energy policy decisions must be made on the basis of us meeting our climate change targets but also, looking at the broad energy security issues, three constraints must be taken into account: security of supply, cost and environment. There are constraints in that regard in terms of the alternative fuel supplies we can get to replace the peat and that is something we will take into account in a wide range of policy decisions.
