I would like to go back to the climate change point. The proposed weakening of the CSDDD in the omnibus package will remove the obligation on companies to put into effect climate transition plans. Does the Department have a view on the potential litigation and fines that will arise if Ireland fails to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets? In the event of fines will the State carry the can for companies that publish transition plans but fail to implement them? In the Department's analysis of this has a cost been put on what that would be?
