Mr. Robert Deegan:

That was one of the issues that came out quite favourably, as Mr. Kenny mentioned, in the public consultation. It is something the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment would support.

Senator Mulherin also referred to public consultation in terms of selling the climate agenda. That is something the Minister, Deputy Bruton, has been quite strong on. He has been all around the country. I do not know how many roadshows he has done at this stage but he has personally attended at least five or six. He has been getting out and about and trying to sell the message.

There is a whole section in the climate plan on just transition and a range of actions is outlined in that regard. The issue has not been overlooked. Again, it is something the Minister feels quite strongly about. He wants to ensure that cohorts in society that could be negatively impacted are protected to the greatest extent possible. The Taoiseach's recent comments have been very supportive in that regard.
