Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Advancing the Low-Carbon Transition in Irish Transport: Discussion

Dr. Larry O'Connell:

To be very clear, I totally accept NESC that has a leadership position. In 2012 and 2013, we worked hard to be in a leadership position in terms of some of the thinking on climate. I am not in a position to comment on the plan as Dr. Devaney did. However, we feel it would be a very good service and in keeping with our leadership remit to have a discussion in NESC on the climate plan and then to form a view on that. That is more powerful than me taking a position. NESC has the leadership, not me, and I think we will do that.
