Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I ask the Deputy to calm down. There is no need to be roaring about the issue. The bottom line is that in 2021, the country spent €6.2 billion on imported fuels compared with €3.4 billion in 2020. We spent €6.2 billion on imported fuels in 2021 compared with €3.4 billion in 2020. That is a €2.8 billion increase in the bill for imported fuel, largely reflecting higher prices on international markets. We spent an additional €1.5 billion on imported oil and an extra €1 billion on imported gas last year.
