Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

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

Mr. Macdara Doyle:

To our knowledge, all parties, except Bord na Móna, are willing to attend the WRC forum, and that includes the WRC. That is from direct contact we have had with them. Our fear would be, in this context, that we will get one shot at this and if transition becomes synonymous with job loss, economic decline, uncertainty and fear, rational people will back away from it and will have nothing to do with it. Rebuilding that trust will be a very difficult job.
