Mr. Brian Carroll:

The first thing to say is that the just transition commissioner has only just been appointed by the Government and the terms of reference for his operation published. That includes engagement with all relevant stakeholders, Bord na Móna and ESB included, as well as trade unions and worker representatives. As part of the terms of reference, the commissioner can make recommendations on the essential elements of a just transition for workers and communities, including any additional actions or measures deemed appropriate, together with optimal structures and processes to support co-ordinated and effective delivery of the just transition. The just transition commissioner will report quarterly to Government. I would not like to pre-empt the work that the just transition commissioner will do.
