A bill put forward by an Offaly councillor on a 'just transition' from fossil fuels will be debated in the Dáil today.
The Green Party's Pippa Hackett is proposing a commission be set up to aid bodies, like Bord na Móna and the ESB, to move into renewable energy production.
The debate on the legislation comes in the week the party announced Councillor Hackett will run in a Seanad by-election for a spot on the Agriculture panel.
Cllr. Hackett says this discussion is vital for the future of workers in the industry, including those in the midlands
