Carbon Policy: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-19
============================================================

John McGahon (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

That is a fair point. It is easy to come along and discuss an issue and it is great that we are doing this but it is different to then get up and champion that issue in front of a local community that may be completely against it. We have seen that with wind and solar energy and fair play to an individual if he or she is willing to stand up in the Seanad to say we need nuclear energy and then champion a nuclear reactor in their local community. I am being honest in saying I would not have the ability to do that.
Senator Keogan is right-----
