Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2026-07-15
============================================================

Eoin Hayes (SD), Dublin Bay South

I congratulate the Spanish on their victory last night at the World Cup.
I welcome the Taoiseach's report. In Spain the price per MW hour for electricity is €14 and in Ireland it is nearly ten times higher, at €130. Pedro Sánchez has been more vociferous in his criticism of inaction against Israel than this Government has been. He passed an occupied territories Bill before Ireland did so, including a ban on advertisement of services. He has denied the US access to Spanish territory for operations in the Persian Gulf. My question is simple. What could the Taoiseach learn from the Spanish Premier and from left wing politics?
