Ms Suzanne Keatinge:

I thank Deputy Crowe for that comprehensive response. Starting with the stakeholder forum, it is important to acknowledge that we need a forum to start talking about these issues and how to take forward issues like oversight, public engagement and so forth. There are many good examples. In Germany, they are calling on independent experts to come in and play that oversight role. We in Ireland are not even having that conversation yet, and that needs to start now.

I hear what the Deputy says about the Government going through the motions. The Government did have to start making some progress because it had to report in New York. That said, we are three years on and there is not the urgency that is needed. The next 12 months are a real opportunity to keep that momentum going.

I want to pass over to my colleague to talk about SDG 14 in particular and business and human rights.
