Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I understand the plan contains a ten-year plan regarding higher capital investment in climate change, plans to modernise our supply of energy and deliver against a climate agenda about which the Deputy has spoken. It is fair to say that meeting the objectives we have will be very challenging but in terms of what we are doing about it, I have supported the Minister, Deputy Naughten, in putting in place a massively increased capital programme. I have put in place plans to increase the supply of public transport across our country. Is the taxpayer paying for that? The answer is "Yes". I would have thought Deputy Barry would be supportive of that.
