Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

I have no difficulty. I assume it might emerge six months into this that there is a need for a new bigger effort around it. My view largely is that if this is required, I will certainly say it. I will not be behind the door and not say it. If I find after three months that I cannot deal or cope with all of it or that it needs a greater input, I will have no hesitation in saying that. I do not want and will not allow drift. One creates an expectation and if one does not deliver it, it is worse than if one had never started at all.
