Electricity Prices: Motion
3:00 am
Niall Ó Brolcháin (Green Party)
I would like to see domestic rates being reduced on a council by council basis. I am sure Senator Coffey would also like to see them being reduced. Using renewable energy resources is definitely the way to do. Fine Gael speaks about swapping in regard to the €6 billion spent on imported fossil fuels every year, for which I commend it. The NewERA document is a good one. We do need to swap, but we need to be bold in doing so. The motion refers to minor issues; it is trying to create a mountain out of a molehill.
