Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

That is what we want to do. We want to prioritise that area. It makes sense to insulate homes and we will give good grants to people to enable them to do that. On looking after low-income families, the fuel allowance and so on, we were able to take measures in the last budget on the social welfare package because of the revenue that has been generated from the carbon tax itself and, likewise, in the farming environmental schemes that are important in creating new income streams for farming. In no way, however, does it contribute to the enormity of the increase in the cost of oil and gas that has happened because of global factors.
