I have two or three further questions in this regard. I have no doubt that the Minister has heard of the Fridays for Future group which has been in contact with the committee and with the secretariat. They have held protests outside various different schools and locations and outside Leinster House on different occasions. One of their asks is on climate change being very much part of the curriculum from primary school to secondary school. There is a significant whole-of-government approach regarding climate change in every Department. Does the Minister have plans to introduce anything on to the curriculum at primary and post-primary level? While there have been many changes regarding educating young people on the importance of climate change in existing subjects, has the Minister plans for specific curriculum change regarding this issue?
