Mr. John Hogan:

I think we can come back to the committee with some colour on the discussions and the number of interactions that took place. I am not sure what we have in writing around it but the Deputy can rest assured that there was quite a bit of interaction.

On climate more generally, the Department has created its own climate economy group to look at all these issues as to how the targets that have been agreed will impact right across the economy. Mr. McCarthy chairs it. It will be a very important stream of work for us over the next months and years.
