Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed)
Lynn Boylan (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
This week there was a further round of negotiations to reform it which failed. We are on the hook in that any investment that comes in will have protection and access to the investor-state dispute settlement, ISDS, court system. If we change the EU taxonomy rules or anything like that for investors, once they have established here, they will be able to avail of those provisions under the Energy Charter Treaty. I will not take up any more time.
