Eamon Ryan
Question:16 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will investigate the need to set up and fund a research and development task force from within the existing third level institutions to investigate the way in which the implementation of leading edge renewable energy solutions and energy conservation can enable Ireland to properly manage the transition to a sustainable, lower energy usage society following the inevitable peak in oil production over the next two to ten years, the huge price rises, the fuel shortages, the related economic meltdown and possible civil unrest that will follow; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
