Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Carroll:

As the Deputy is aware, the just transition commissioner has only been appointed and the terms of reference settled. The budget announced the allocations. The Minister signalled, in response to a parliamentary question, that he is open to a submission as to how the funds might assist workers affected by the ending of peat harvesting for power generation. In terms of the practical details, we will have to work out how that will be done in the coming weeks.
