Green party leader Eamon Ryan has said energy credits introduced in last year’s budget were proposed by his party.

Speaking to reporters at his party’s annual think-in which was taking place in Tramore, Co Waterford, Mr Ryan said the Green party's junior role in the coalition is “the front wheel” rather than the “mudguard”.
