I thank Ms Fitzgerald for that presentation and for the useful information that we need to disseminate to the local authorities and various bodies about the opportunities that are there for them. I appreciate that. I thank all the MEPs for their focus on climate justice. As they say, Putin has weaponised energy but that presents an opportunity as much as a challenge, and today is an important part of developing that. Today proves, beyond yea or nay, the importance of the link between this House and the European Parliament to have this vital information on these linkages.

We will now hear from the Members of this House, which is obviously a relevant part of the dialogue. We will have party political groups spokespersons who will speak for three minutes each. We must adhere to that rigidly. To speak on behalf of the Fianna Fáil grouping, I call Senator Horkan.
