============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The only way we could implement the motion this evening would be to get rid of the legislation that underpins the carbon tax, which provides the funding to deal with fuel poverty. We have brought the fuel allowance to well over €1,000. The motion does away with the retrofitting funds to enable people on low incomes or people generally to retrofit their houses so there would be lower bills. It does away with farming that is friendly towards the environment. It does away with the just transition. The midlands and other areas need that transition funding.
