Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Shared Island Unit: Engagement with Department of the Taoiseach

Mr. Eoghan Duffy:

That sounds like a really good proposal for the community climate action scheme, which is exactly what the Deputy describes for communities. The requirement is that it is on both sides of the Border to come together to deliver either carbon reduction or biodiversity-enhancing actions. I will follow up to make sure the Deputy has the information, and we would be happy to talk to the group, but that is exactly the kind of thing that this is intended to do. There is the main part of the fund, which is for actions within an individual community, and then this is to bring communities together on a cross-Border basis to do that.
