Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I will rephrase it in this way. The Minister was asked a question by me which he refused to answer. I asked him if his Department had estimated, or received calculations from any body under its aegis estimating the increase that would be required in the PSO levy to accommodate 800 MW of onshore wind energy. He gave the figure for onshore wind but did not give the figure for offshore wind. He then went on to admit that the Department has worked out various cost scenarios. Yet he has not answered the question.
