Agreed.

It is agreed.

I did not call a vote. It is my amendment but I did not call the vote.

Can I make a point of clarification?

I want to quote back to the Taoiseach the words of the UN General Secretary, António Guterres. The Taoiseach quoted Mr. Guterres this morning as follows: "Some government and business leaders are saying one thing but doing another. Simply put, they are lying". The Taoiseach seems to think that this applies to the Opposition because those in opposition, or some of us, at least, are against the imposition of punitive carbon taxes on ordinary people. Yet carbon taxes seem to be the only tool in the Government's kit fo…

What is unpopular with the Taoiseach is banning data centres and shutting down the possibility of LNG here.

What about the actual fossil fuels?

Nonsense. The Taoiseach should listen to the science not to his own logic.

I am asking the Taoiseach about the science of allowing in LNG and allowing data centres to use up our electricity.

The Government is allowing it in. It is leaving the door open.

There is when you are angry and you cannot help yourself. The Taoiseach is accusing me of------

On a related matter, but moving slightly sideways, has the European Union discussed the importation of liquefied natural gas, LNG, from the USA as a reaction to the Ukrainian crisis and in order to move away from the consumption of Russian gas and oil? Poor old António Guterres is getting quoted a lot in this House today. He warned European countries against this consumption of fossil fuels when he said, "Countries could become so consumed by the immediate fossil fuel supply gap that they neglect or knee-cap polici…

But it is okay to depend on the US gas?

By 2030, we will be dependent on US gas instead.

It should be myself, Deputy Gino Kenny and Deputy Barry.

I am glad to speak on this plan. The first issue that jumps out at me is the reason we are discussing it, which is that women, by our physiological and psychological nature, are complex creatures and our health needs a complex response. This document makes mention of contraception, period poverty, menopause, endometriosis, breastfeeding, gynaecology, including paediatric gynaecology, maternity bereavement and fertility hubs. I could go on and on because there are so many issues. It is not some kind of achievement f…

No, I am taking the whole five minutes and he can get lost. He is getting none of it.

Something intrigues me and this is not to insult anybody. But I am intrigued that there is not a single female Member of the three Government parties here to talk about this issue. Not a single one.

They might all have had to go home and mind the kids. I do not know, but I think it would have been appropriate for at least one or two of them to be here to defend this issue.

It would have been appropriate because it is Government policy to impose this new structure on us.
