Is the expertise in the Department of the Taoiseach or would all the expertise have to be transferred? Currently, the climate change expertise would be focused in the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. New staff will not be recruited, therefore, so will all of the staff have to be transferred from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to ensure we have the expertise in the Department of the Taoiseach? We have to be realistic when we recommend that over-arching measure. Obviously, it will all have to be pulled together but wheresoever the expertise is located it will have to be used. I thank Dr. Ó Gallachóir for his input. We need more scientific information.
