Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We need to fess up to that. On climate action, I agree with the comments made by Deputies. It is not, and cannot be, just about individual action. It has to be Government led. Individual action cannot change our energy systems. Only governments can do that. We have announced we will take peat out of the system in 2023, much earlier than planned. Coal will come off the grid in 2025 and there is now major investment in renewables, rising from 30% now to 70% by the end of the decade. Individuals cannot do that.
