I thank the Minister and his officials for coming before the committee. I note that it is the second time because wearing his other hat as Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, he appeared before us before Christmas, so I thank him for his engagement.

We hope to really bed in the process set out in the climate Act whereby this committee holds the relevant Ministers accountable for the delivery of the climate action plans as well as the additional piece mentioned by Deputy O'Rourke of getting the plans back on track if we are off track. In that regard, we will probably look to have Ministers in just after the summer break, after the EPA and Climate Change Advisory Council publish their reports. That will be a little sooner than we had Ministers in in 2023. That is the plan as of now. I thank the Minister and his officials again.
