Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Questions were submitted and answers have been given. It seems a bit irregular if we are going to allow a free for all.

It is the Oireachtas which will adopt these climate budgets and give the final sanction to them. That is the arrangement in the legislation. That is respecting those who are elected here. As Mr. Carroll said, we will lock those in when we make those decisions in the next six months. They will be locked in for the decade. The commitments in the programme for Government are a powerful tool which, I hope, will be endorsed by the Oireachtas within months and drive real change in this area.
