Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Session 3: The State of Play in Regulation

The Government is absolutely aware of that. That is why a lot of work has gone into this and it is being led from the Taoiseach's office. There is no doubt that the importance of this is recognised. Equally, we recognise that what we do is interdependent with what colleague nations are doing. We need to work together in designing systems that will be enforceable, robust and consistent across geographies. As Lord Puttnam rightly said, these are not nation state companies. These are companies for whom we, to are large extent, are the product and they transcend boundaries. That is the greater challenge, not the issue of finding resources to enforce well designed policy instruments.
