I commiserate with Deputy Sherlock. I know I will work well with him on the committee. I thank the members for supporting me. I will work with all the members.

We face an important challenge, and I look forward to supporting Deputy Naughton in her role as Chair. The challenge facing the country is significant and we have a great deal of catching up to do on the issue of climate change. This committee is probably the most important one to be formed in the Thirty-second Dáil, given the life and death issues at stake. Nothing is more important. I look forward to working with everyone.
