Mr. Brian Carroll:

No, it does not. The Deputy will be aware that an interdepartmental group was set up and led by the Department of the Taoiseach. It cuts across a number of Departments, including the Departments of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Public Expenditure and Reform, Housing, Planning and Local Government, Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Education and Skills, Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Transport, Tourism and Sport, Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and Rural and Community Development. The group will be meeting on an ongoing basis, as required. The central co-ordination function rests with the Taoiseach's Department. The just transition commissioner will be supported by a secretariat in our Department and in the midlands and will report to our Minister and, through our Minister, to the Department of the Taoiseach. The role of the Department of the Taoiseach is still central in co-ordinating the whole-of-Government effort.
