On the geothermal energy development Bill, can the Tánaiste ask and assist the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte, to appoint a mediator in respect of a situation that has developed in south Tipperary relating to STEP insulation and the homes of vulnerable people?

Have a chat with Deputy Rabbitte after the Order of Business.

They might appoint a mediator to mediate between SEAI and Muintir na Tíre in south Tipperary to keep that organisation afloat.

I do not propose to act as a mediator between Deputy Mattie McGrath and Deputy Rabbitte.

Unlike Deputy Daly, I have good time for the Tánaiste.

I am sure they are well able to deal with each other directly.

It is a serious issue.

I appreciate that, which is why Deputy McGrath should discuss it directly with the Minister and, with all due respect, leave me out of it. The heads of the geothermal energy development Bill have been approved and it is expected that it will be published in the middle of next year.
