The INTO's proposals include that all school boards of management be required to have an energy management plan as part of their financial responsibility and that financial sanctions be available, although I take Mr. Dolan's point on this; that all schools have access to external support and guidance to implement the policy; that Green-Schools is best placed to provide such external support, but that this should be left open for the Department to decide; and that the committee and the Minister promote the issue publicly as an urgent opportunity to achieve cuts which would not hurt. The main proposals relevant to the Department are the requirement for boards of management to have an energy management plan and that external support and guidance be available.
