Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on Market Revenues) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-09
============================================================

Eugene Murphy (FF), Agricultural Panel

I will not delay proceedings. I want to look at it from a different angle. I know, as do Senators Carrigy and Garvey and people on the Government side, from talking to the public that people were saying this would never happen and it is almost there. It is very important we get that message across. This is really good for the consumer, whether we are talking about a commercial perspective or the domestic perspective. It just shows that when everybody works together - officials, Ministers, coalition governments or whatever - we can do this type of thing. It is an idea I certainly will sell. It is of huge advantage and benefit to the public. Many people said this would not happen; it is now happening right before our eyes. There are one or two little things to get done, but we hope they will be done. It is in everybody's interest to get this over the line now as quickly as possible.
