Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

12:30 pm

Mr. John Enright:

On the methane issue, my understanding is similar to Mr. Ryan's that there is a review of the methodology in relation to methane. What we are saying is that we should wait and see what comes from that review. There may be no change or they may be a change. We have to see what will come from that review of the methodology. That is the point on methane from our perspective.

It is unfair to say we are not looking at measures in respect of climate change. We made our pre budget submission in August and September and I can send the Deputy a copy of it. We proposed a number of measures in our pre budget submission on climate change issues. We are very conscious of climate change and we are putting forward measures to support climate change. I do not want members to go away with the impression that we are not addressing the issue, because we are very conscious of it.
