Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

This week, the ESB reported €650 million in profits with most of this coming from more than trebling of profits in its generation business. The ESB pays the Government a €327 million dividend but other companies in the generation business do not pay any such dividend. Does the Tánaiste feel measures such as a windfall tax and capping on renewables are adequate to address these very high profits that are being made in the industry?
