I have listened to the Taoiseach quote our climate ambition. Embarrassingly for me it has all been quoting. I sponsored a Bill that the Government opposed right up to the point when it knew that it would pass. That has been the limit of our achievements on climate action. The Taoiseach recently spoke in the Dáil about climate change bringing benefits to Ireland. Would that be a view in the Department? That would feed into our COP responses. I believe the Taoiseach said that climate warming was reducing fuel bills. Is that a view overall within Government or is that just a politician?
