Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I agree with the Deputy. In order to guarantee the security of energy supply into the future, we need accelerated investment in infrastructure. We also need to work collectively across the House and on councils to try to create a culture of prioritising security of energy supply and electricity supply, with a view to saying that we cannot be putting obstacles along the route every time something is proposed. We want to decarbonise. That means more wind energy and, in particular, more solar. It also means we have to upgrade the transmission infrastructure. I agree wholeheartedly with what the Deputy is saying.
