I suggest there is significant opportunity to improve the nature of the climate debate.

This could be done by means of an editorial emphasis on solutions rather than on whether people are pro- or anti-LNG. It could reasonably be suggested that RTÉ is not simply reflecting these differences but is driving and sustaining them. For example, when is the last time RTÉ had a focus on lock-in of the Energy Charter Treaty or on the concept of a just transition and how it might reasonably be delivered? With a slight tweak of emphasis, there is significant opportunity for solutions as opposed to division. It is the business of the witnesses; it is not mine. There is a significant opportunity and it would help what is an incredibly important debate.
