Mr. O'Leary is speaking about climate. I brought this up at the previous meeting or maybe the one before that. Funding was provided for solar panels a year ago but the Department has not installed even one solar panel. There is a specific problem with the lack of urgency around climate action, and transport is one of those areas. It should not take three years when we have an urgent problem. I accept that there is a representative but that is not the same as the entire Department having a focus on climate, which it should. It should not be a matter of one person being brought into a committee to represent the climate issue. Everybody, in every Department, needs to take this issue seriously.
