Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

Yes. I explicitly support the development of the emissions trading scheme in such a way that rather than giving free allocations, energy providers will be obliged to auction in order to purchase. I look forward to the introduction of such a change to the scheme so that we can obtain greater efficiencies in our electricity system. This change will also deliver funds that will help develop some of the infrastructure we need.
