Mr. Charles Stanley-Smith:

I was watching a programme on RTÉ last night that Senator Boylan was on. There was a lady on the panel who said that we needed to talk to people. I am on Tipperary's environmental SPC, which is very good in terms of how the local authority is going to improve its climate actions and so on, but there is little discussion, if any, of what others could do. The lady was saying that people wanted to get involved, and she asked that authorities please to talk to them and tell them what they needed to do. This is where PPNs could easily get involved, given that they are composed of those people. They are the ones that can bring climate dialogue into a local area. Having a dialogue that will influence the Government's Climate Action Plan is one thing, but having a dialogue with people on the ground where local people speak to local people about the types of thing they can do and how they can help is the way to go.
