Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-26
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I will be brief because the point has been made with regard to this amendment. I want to make a point about some of the other amendments in the grouping. I support all of them, especially amendment No. 5 in the name of Deputy Bacik. It does what a number of other amendments seek to do, namely to increase transparency, accountability, scrutiny and the assessment of the particular projects that are to be delivered. I have tabled an amendment relating to a review and I notice that another amendment relates to assessing and identifying the climate impact of these projects. These are entirely sensible, reasonable and practical proposals from the Opposition and I really believe the Minister should take them on board and act on them. I am sure that in 30 minutes we will not get to all of them but I think the Minister should support them.
