Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. John Finnegan:
We are at an early stage of scrutiny. This matter relates to one of the complex aspects of this legislation. In our Department, we define the standards but we have to work with the Department of Justice and the enforcement authorities to determine what the real implications of the provisions would be. It is definitely part of our scrutiny to determine the implications regarding our resource needs and ascertain whether the right resources will be in place.
