Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)
Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
We have a Bill before the Dáil entitled the Just Transition (Worker and Community Environmental Rights) Bill 2018, which involves a really proper mediation service with all the resources we think are needed. My concern is that this seems to a be short-term stopgap that involves an approach that is not properly resourced or planned to an emergency PR situation with which the Government has difficulties. Regarding the €11 million in this just transition fund, Mr. Mulvey said he did not want to be bureaucratic and get caught in the weeds. Does he have authority to sign off on the allocation of funds within that?
