Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

It is getting out of its main business. It has significant implications. It had a market for a product and we now accept that we should not be putting up smokestacks. It is a significant change, such as trying to change the Titanic a mile from the iceberg. It is close to it but it has an opportunity to change. I have heard that it is making a good effort to change and to look at viable enterprise propositions, including having to rehabilitate the wetlands and peatlands.
