I thank Mr. Andrews very much. There will be further opportunities as the evening progresses to develop some of those points. I thank Mr. Andrews for addressing the twin subjects of approaching climate change and the climate justice question. Those were very informative and interesting perspectives. We would not necessarily be aware of the various issues and opportunities he raised for which I thank him. As per the rotation, our next speaker is Mr. Cuffe, a very distinguished member of and participant in the Europe…

Thank you very much for a very inspirational address. It is great that you are at the coalface in framing the directive related to buildings. Hopefully our Government will be assisted by your work on that directive. Our next speaker is one of our distinguished alumni from this House and a former Minister, Ms Frances Fitzgerald.

I thank Ms Fitzgerald for that presentation and for the useful information that we need to disseminate to the local authorities and various bodies about the opportunities that are there for them. I appreciate that. I thank all the MEPs for their focus on climate justice. As they say, Putin has weaponised energy but that presents an opportunity as much as a challenge, and today is an important part of developing that. Today proves, beyond yea or nay, the importance of the link between this House and the European Par…

I know, exactly. I did realise that afterwards when it occurred to me.

I thank Senator Horkan for that thought-provoking contribution. On behalf of the Fine Gael Party and political grouping, I call Senator Seery Kearney.

I thank Senator Seery Kearney. We will have those questions answered later. On behalf of Sinn Féin, I call Senator Boylan.

I thank Senator Boylan, who is a former MEP herself. The next speaker is Senator Sherlock.

To speak on behalf of Civil Engagement Group is Senator Lynn Ruane.

To speak on behalf of the Independent Group is Senator Tom Clonan.

I thank Senator Clonan for his interesting geopolitical observations. We look forward to the response of the MEPs to the various issues raised and they will have three minutes each. I propose that this time MEPs speak in reverse order and we will start with Frances Fitzgerald on this occasion.

I thank Ms Fitzgerald. Attempting to reverse the order next is Mr. Barry Andrews, MEP. I hope I am getting this-----

I apologise for suggesting Mr. Cuffe might be either literally or metaphorically at the coalface. Can we have his response?

We will go to Members' questions. We will see if we can take them all. Can the very experienced people answering record them? It is more efficient to take them all in one go.

I thank Senator Currie. That is perfectly clear. I am doing my best to be accurate here. I believe it is Senator Eileen Flynn next.

I thank Senator Flynn for that perspective.

Yes.

I ask the Senator to conclude.

I thank Senator Fitzpatrick.

Ms Daly is not back in Dublin until very late tonight.

Ms Daly did send her apologies.
