We face two major challenges at the moment. One is from climate and the other is because of the war in Ukraine. We are seeing energy security issues and rising costs. It is vital that we examine all possible approaches to deal with this issue. Transport is particularly dependent on imported fuels. What plans does the Government have to increase the use of biodiesel, biomethane and ethanol as fuels? What plans does it have to produce as much of those as possible from within the country and not to be importing them? There are significant opportunities for biomethane production in this country but we seem to be moving very slowly. It has two major gains, climate and security.

Ceist tábhachtach is í sin, particularly in respect of ensuring that we can as far as possible provide alternatives within our country. That applies as we manage our way through this current crisis but it is also important that we bring forward measures that will be sustainable into the future and that we reduce our dependency on imported fuels. The Government supports initiatives in that space where it can. I will speak directly to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, following Deputy Ó Cuív's intervention today and ask him to revert to the Deputy.
