The purpose of this part of the session is to consider the motion on the Sustainable Energy Act 2022 (section 8(2)) (Conferral of Additional Functions - Energy Efficiency) Order 2022, which has been referred to this committee by the Committee on Standing Orders.

On behalf of the committee, I welcome the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and his officials to today's meeting. We have less than an hour for the session, but we should have enough time to discuss the matter.

I call on the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to make his opening statement.
