Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Business of Joint Committee
1:59 pm
Chairman:
Yes. The new Minister, Deputy Bruton, was speaking at the EU Climate-KIC Summit in Dublin Castle where he outlined that Ireland needs to be a leader now, not a follower. He also stated there is a need for new initiatives across electricity, transport, heat as well as a range of other sectors. He will appear before our committee on 5 December. I agree with Deputy Eamon Ryan's point in that we would need to get a response from the Secretaries General of the Departments outlining what actions they plan to take together with clear targets and timeframes for them before that meeting with the Minister.
