Hildegarde Naughton: I knew they were against it and I held off on the vote here because many Senators had to be in the Seanad.

We can discuss anything in respect of the standing committee. Can we proceed with a vote on this?

There is a perception and a narrative that a fourfold increase to €80 is to happen by 2020. That is not the case. The advice of the Climate Change Advisory Council was that it be set at €80 by 2030 but some people are confused.
