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

This the reason the Government is today publishing the climate action plan outlining the plans we have to deliver, over time, our energy supply and security through a greater use of renewables. It is why we want, over the lifetime of this plan, to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and then phase out that reliance entirely. It is why we are committed to the kind of changes needed in the use of public transport and, in a careful and responsive way, working with all parts of the country and economy to bring about the change that is needed. I am confident we can do that while growing the economy and employment because opportunities will be created in all this. Our economy and workers have shown their ability to go after new opportunities. They will be fulsomely supported by the Government in doing that.
