Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion
Mr. Kevin Brady:
The governance regulation became European law at the end of 2018 and we were put under a tremendously tight timeframe. We are working within the tight timeframes provided by the European Commission. I am not aware of any other process that has seen a law come into force on Christmas Eve 2018 and within a year and a small number of days requires us to have a ten-year detailed plan as well as a look forward to 2050. The process is, indeed, constrained, but there were always going to be tighter timelines to try to do all that in a year.
