Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

COP28: Discussion

Mr. Jerry MacEvilly:

I fully agree with the Chair. We do not have a proposal ready to go, but we would be very happy to come back to this and examine what legislation is possible next year. The other issue really worth considering is that there have been cases semi-regularly raised with the advertising authority where certain companies have put forward certain messages and we have been quite surprised that these cases have been rejected. That deserves much greater analysis and we hope it can provoke or provide a grounds for the types of authority we should have or could need. As the Cathaoirleach said, there are models in other member states we hope Ireland can progress.
