Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Advancing the Low-Carbon Transition in Irish Transport: Discussion

Dr. Larry O'Connell:

The just transition piece we are interested in doing seeks to do just that. I will ask Dr. Torney to comment later on the numbers because he has been doing some work on transport. Deputy Catherine Murphy's comment that the interrogation of the plan would be beyond the political system is interesting. We would not be in a position personally to comment on the plan but NESC could be invited to interrogate it. The officials in the Department who are working on the plan could come to NESC so that its members, which as I mentioned earlier includes a diverse range of organisations, could interrogate the plan. The NESC should contribute to the conversation around interrogation of the plan with a view to commenting on it at a future point.
