- Seanad: Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on Market Revenues) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Nov 2023)
Róisín Garvey: This windfall gains Bill is brilliant. It is easy for people to ask for what should be done but to actually put it into action is far more effective.

Do the witnesses have any breakdown...
