Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

5:00 pm

Dr. John O'Neill:

I wish to highlight the process we have in place at the moment in terms of what Mr. Lynott mentioned for the national mitigation plan that is required under the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act. Part of that process involves all the relevant Departments being co-ordinated by our Department. There is a significant amount of interaction at the policy level and also at the technical level on modelling, including working with the agency on this. That process needs to remain ongoing out to 2050. The main objective of that is to ensure we can align policies and measures so that we have a very coherent set of plans and we are sure of the implications. That process is ongoing.
