Energy charter treaty

Summary

Deputy Costello urged Ireland to leave the energy charter treaty, saying it blocks climate action. The Taoiseach said he would come back to the Deputy on the issue after dealing with the other exchanges.

Some fine day the Deputy will stand up and raise biodiversity and the need to restore it with me. I await that day.
