Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
Hildegarde Naughton (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
It is amendment No. 37. I will read out what I believe is Deputy Bríd Smith's new priority recommendation. The Deputy wants to add another recommendation to the chapter on agriculture that reads:
The committee recommends that the Department of Finance commission an enquiry into the revenue that could be realised through the introduction of a carbon tax on the profits of large agri-food producers and the feasibility of ring-fencing that revenue to help low-income farming communities move to sustainable low-carbon food production.
Does the Deputy wish to add this recommendation?
