Therefore we are discussing something here in terms of transport about which the actual practical import for the people who we represent is yet to be determined, based on national legislation that we put through with no detail on what this is going to do. Personally speaking I would be very uncomfortable with saying that these do not breach at this moment in time the Irish subsidiarity because I have no detail on the practical import.

The Government at the moment has introduced legislation which sets a 51% target. There are discussions currently taking place with the climate advisory council as to how that would break down between sectors and how it would operate over specific years, and we are looking to sign up to COMs. I want to be careful how I call it. Is this called the climate action plan or the climate budget that is about to be announced?
