Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

All-Ireland Economy: Discussion

Mr. Paul Mac Flynn:

One of the more fruitful areas for us in North-South comparisons has been climate change and the just transition. That includes the agricultural sector and the labour market challenges that exist there and the energy sector. We look at it from a workforce point of view. We are looking at the energy situation on the island of Ireland; what power stations are due to close; what is coming on board; what workers will be affected. There are massive regional elements involved that are not simply North or South but within the North and within the South and then between everybody. I have no problem passing those on too, if the Deputy thought the committee might find them useful.
