Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Mr. Burke may want to speak about transport but I am interested in what has been agreed generally. I need to find out what the situation is now. Ignore these COMs. What is the situation now? I want to feed that back into the climate change Bill that has come in as law and the climate action Bill with the climate budgets. I want to bring it down to the people who we represent, such as the farmers, the airports, the ports. Shannon Foynes Port is beside me. There is Shannon Airport, a huge dairy sector, taxis. I want to find out what these COMs entail but for me to do that I need to know what the current position is. Some of these questions may appear very stupid but nevertheless I am going to ask them because it is about the ordinary person out there. Senator Horgan made a reference to it not being "The Late Late Show". In a very short period of time it will be a little headline on the "The Late Late Show" because we all know we have to move on climate change.
