Carbon Budget: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-04-06
============================================================

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

They are punishing people who want play their part. It has been announced that the ESB will increase the price at electric charging points. That news was released today in an RTÉ report. People who are trying to play their part are being punished, including the farmers on microgeneration schemes that the Government has not honoured. They cannot get onto the grid despite having invested heavily. What the Government is doing is disgraceful and needs to stop now. Government Members need to wake up instead of going around like superheros in capes trying to save the planet and punish Irish people.
