I urge the Leas-Chathaoirleach to keep his finger on the buzzer for the other side of the House. My questions are really simple. I thank all of the MEPs for the work that they do on behalf of Dublin and for representing the voices of Dublin within the European context.

There are three big issues: climate action, which has been spoken about; the energy crisis, which is really affecting households in Dublin and other European cities; and sustainable energy. On the latter, I am interested in the UN sustainable development goals and, in particular, No. 11 which refers to sustainable cities and communities. I ask all four MEPs to respond and indicate to us how they will work with us to progress action. The State is committed to significant climate action but we need Europe to act as one, not just in terms of a just transition but also helping us make a just transition here.
