It has been reported that last month our Taoiseach ordered Mr. Seán Kelly, MEP, to vote against a proposal that would earmark €5 billion in the European Parliament for energy efficiency. I understand Mr. Kelly originally put his name to the proposal but withdrew it after a phone call from the Taoiseach. If that is true, how does that sit with the Government's objectives of fully exploiting and supporting renewable energy in this country?
