Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-02
============================================================

John McGahon (FG), Cultural and Educational Panel

I will direct my comments to Ms Fitzgerald. How will the recent surge in energy prices right across Europe, including in Ireland, affect the European Green Deal? What is the EU doing to protect ordinary citizens and households in the context of that surge in energy prices? The just transition fund in the European Union is worth €1.75 billion. Does Ms Fitzgerald believe that is enough to achieve the type of just transition we need, not just in Ireland but across the Continent?
