I move amendment No. 200:

In page 22, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following: "(c) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the report shall state whether the Advisory Council considers that the target year for achieving the National Climate Objective as defined in section 3 represents the State's highest possible ambition and progression, and shall give the Advisory Council's reasons in this regard.

(d) The Minister shall lay a response to the Council's report under this section before the relevant committee as soon as reasonably practicable after he/she receives that body’s report, setting out any corrective actions required to ensure that carbon budget programme is met.".

I will address that on Report Stage.
