Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Just Transition (Worker and Community Environmental Rights) Bill 2018: Discussion

Mr. Brian Carroll:

I believe the Government has put in place a comprehensive set of measures to ensure a just transition and to protect workers. I will not go through the funds announced because I listed them in my opening statement but I refer to the appointment of the just transition commissioner, a comprehensive terms of reference and the fact that the commissioner is about to embark on this work now. There were developments this year which brought forward these challenges and they came upon us more quickly than anyone would have envisaged.
