Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
1:59 pm
Chairman:
The general point I am making is that a particular Department could come forward with a project which might seem like a cheaper option but which, in the long term, might have a negative climate impact. That assessment needs to take place. Every Department fights for its own amount of money. What is the oversight in respect of climate? Who is adjudicating in terms of the long-term effects that will have on the environment, be it transport, education or whatever Department?
