Mr. Maurice Sadlier:

I was going to reply to Deputy Stanton's question around future generations and note that, if Ireland wanted to be progressive, we could be like Wales, which has appointed a commissioner for future generations to take into consideration how current decisions and actions can be balanced with the needs of future generations. In the UN, Ireland has been supportive of a declaration for future generations that is being worked on currently. These are the types of development that the committee can remain apprised of with a view to encouraging Ireland to take on board the needs of future generations, including Ms Ramadhani's children and grandchildren, so that we leave the world in a better place than we found it.
