Mr. John McGeady:

Mr. Coghlan was going to mention civil society but, on that issue, there is a lot to be said for members, as political leaders, standing with what are called NGOs by those who sometimes want to paint them in a negative light. Ultimately, however, the vast majority are community and voluntary organisations we all know that are working across society. Having a show of support for community and voluntary organisations in our own communities, which I know the Members already do, goes an important way to mitigating against that narrative.

With regard to sustainable development goals, as we said before, it is a broad range of goals that look at not just the environmental but also the social and economic issues. Within all of that, as I said before, the principle of the just transition plays a key role in this. I wish to draw the committee's attention, just because we have it, to a paper Social Justice Ireland has published laying out a whole suite of policy options to support a just transition. I am very happy to share it with the Chair to share with all members.
