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

Again and again, the claim is brought forward that we can respond to the climate crisis without difficult choices. We heard that from Sinn Féin when, for example, so many of its Deputies made the point that more needs to be done on the retrofitting programme and more detail needs to be brought forward, yet it is against the tax that is needed to help to pay for it. Sinn Féin chooses to ignore the advice from groups such as the Climate Change Advisory Council and international economists and scientists, the majority view of whom is that to change our use of carbon we need to change the price of it.
