Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

1:59 pm

Mr. Derek Moran:

We must get to the conceptual idea of putting growth on a much more environmentally sustainable path. The OECD has conveyed a strong message that this is where countries should be going.
