Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I want to bring gas to those locations to bring the cost of energy down to help people keep their jobs. However, in doing so, one must be careful that one does not cause jobs to be lost in another town because the price of its gas connection is increased. There is a complex algorithm and a complex balancing act that must be done to meeting the economic objectives of having a wider gas network, at the same time keeping our gas prices low so that we hold on to the jobs we have.
