Alan Farrell: I thank our guests for their contributions and I note that we have had a thorough discussion.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Poverty: Discussion (23 May 2023)

Alan Farrell: I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and the members for allowing me to appear before the committee and for acceding to my request to request the attendance of representatives of the IAA and the DAA. By way of a brief statement, it is extraordinary that representatives of the DAA would refuse to come in to speak to this committee. It is a slight on this committee, which I think is indicative of...

What role does the IAA have in this context, if any?
