Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-29
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

It was discussed. The view from President Sánchez was that we should reform the entire EU energy market and the way it works. There are different views on that. We would regard the Iberian exception as exactly that. One of the issues that has arisen as a consequence of the price cap, and this was accepted and discussed at the meeting, is a big increase in the use of gas by Spain and Portugal and a big increase in imports of gas there which has costs and climate consequences.
