Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

I agree with the Deputy. Two years seems an awful long time away. I actively hope to move after I have had sufficient briefing on the issues and engagement. I think I said at the meeting that I do not see this being two years. There is a rapidity about this that requires an earlier judgment or judgment call about supporting alternative arrangements around sustainability of employment, creation of employment, sustainability of communities and looking at alternatives.
