I thank the Taoiseach for his update on his engagement with the Spanish Prime Minister. Indeed Prime Minister Sánchez attended a Party of European Socialists party leaders' event, which I also attended, in Berlin in October. He spoke there about the Iberian social democratic model of energy price cap that he and the Portuguese Prime Minister, who is also a member of the Party of European Socialists, had implemented. In his engagement with Prime Minister Sánchez, did the Taoiseach discuss with him that model of price cap on energy, which has been successfully implemented in Spain and Portugal to address rising energy costs and help people get through a cost-of-living crisis?
