Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation

============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

There is a whole series of emergency measures we need to take, including direct payments to households, investing in social welfare contributions, emergency support measures for business and the long list of measures, which I will not read out again, to protect the most vulnerable customers, all of which have been done on an emergency basis. If we try to reconfigure our entire energy system by way of emergency legislation, I do not believe we would get it right. We are right to address the immediate needs of households that are in particular difficulty by protecting, supporting and providing for them.
