I apologise to Mr. Moran because he seems to be a little bit defensive. The weather forecast is my favourite programme, both on the radio and on the telly. I absolutely love it. Met Éireann does a great job. I am talking about language, and I do not mean it to sound like a semantic argument. Instead of talking about climate, can we talk more about climate change and human-induced activity resulting in weather extremes? Only once have I heard about human-induced activity being responsible for weather events on the weather forecast. We could up our game on that as a way of shaping the argument in the country. Loads of people love the weather forecast, watch it all the time and learn loads from it. I do not mean to be objectionable to Mr. Moran's role, absolutely not.
