Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

If one talks to people who know something about what is happening with electricity prices, they say this is bringing down prices. We have introduced a single electricity market - an all-island system. This gives a clear indication of what is happening and shows that prices are coming down due to a more competitive market with increased use of renewables and by having a Government which knows something about energy policy. This means lower prices, more competition and clean supplies.
