I welcome the substantial increase in the allocation for the just transition under subhead A8. This shows there is progress in getting good projects off the ground. The Minister mentioned the significant overall investment of €169 million in the midlands. Is provision being made under this subhead for the establishment this year of the just transition commission? The deadline for nominations to the commission close this week, if not today. I presume the commission will be established thereafter. Will it go head on an administrative basis or will we see early legislation to underpin it?
I have another question on a different subhead.
