Ms Meaghan Carmody:

I will comment briefly on RIAs and, if it is okay, I will then pass over to Ms O'Neill to speak about climate finance.

Some of the questions Senator Higgins has on regulatory impact assessments are ones we also have. Officials are coming in later and we would really like to know how they are employing RIAs. There is a full RIA and there is a screening RIA. We are unclear about the circumstances in which each is used. We know they are in the Department of the Taoiseach, but it is not clear if they are public. It is very important that policy is evidence based so that it is clear where the trade-offs are emerging.
