Public Accounts Committee
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
9:00 am
Mr. Mark Griffin:
As I understand the process of the work of the Citizens' Assembly, the key function of the assembly is to make recommendations on the topics it was asked to discuss. Climate action was one of those topics. The Citizens' Assembly will provide a report to the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Houses of the Oireachtas will assign that report to a relevant committee of both Houses - I do not know if that will be one committee or several committees - depending on the issue being discussed. I presume it is several committees. I imagine that the agriculture recommendations will come to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment. The matter may also be debated in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
