Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Graham Doyle:

There is consistency around this. A great deal of cross-Government work is undertaken on a range of issues. I seem to spend a great deal of my time attending cross-Government meetings, which is excellent because it gives us the opportunity to directly work with our colleagues where issues cross over. There is no question but that climate change is now on the top of people's tongues in a way that was not the case some years ago. We see that co-operation quite regularly. A good structure is in place. Bringing climate change directly under a particular Department was a significant change. There is a Cabinet committee and a senior officials group. There are climate change units within various Departments. I can see the work and interaction being more positive than ever.
