Chairman:

In module 2, I suggest that we meet the Secretaries General of the relevant Departments, as per our orders of reference, to determine whether they are on track regarding the various actions assigned to them under the national mitigation plan, namely, the sectoral mitigation measures, and whether they have identified additional sectoral mitigation measures that could inform further implementation of the national mitigation plan and the preparation of Ireland's draft integrated national energy and climate plan, taking into account the recently published national development plan. Secretaries General can also inform us as to how the recommendations of the assembly can inform changes to those plans.

It is proposed that, over several meetings, we will engage with the Secretaries General and senior officials of seven Departments to examine their sectoral mitigation plans and adaptation plans and consider how the recommendations of the assembly can inform changes to those plans.

It is proposed that the meetings of modules 1 and 2 will be as follows. Members may wish to look at their diaries now. From 4 to 6 December-----
