Amendment No. 420 is about the obligation to prepare objectives for management of areas, use and structures. This is to include wording to support reaching Ireland's climate targets. It refers to page No. 109. It would insert, "Supporting reaching Ireland’s climate targets as set under the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021.”. In the climate emergency we are in, which has been declared since 2019, all policies and programmes must support Ireland's binding climate targets. We covered the issues related to this matter in quite some detail already.
