Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Citizens Information Services (29 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Whitmore: I thank the Minister. I know this is not her area but I will say that response is essentially what I said to her in the first instance. It outlines the importance of the information office and goes through the history of what happened.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Jennifer Whitmore: I have a couple of questions that are primarily for the CRU. In her opening statement, Ms MacEvilly stated the commission has been asked to accelerate deployment of renewable energy and relevant measures under the climate action plan.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)
