Mr. David Rossiter:

To add to that, there is some precedent internationally for how governments take decisions based on achieving SDGs that can increase that awareness. This is why at the coalition we have been talking about the future generations' commissioner. For example, in Wales, when an Act was implemented to create this role, the person appointed was able to offer some policy analysis around a new road that was due to be built. The future generations' commissioner was able to say that in order to achieve the SDGs and prioritise future generations there was a need to divert that spending into other transport and active travel measures. They were able to promote a new metro public transport system for the south Wales area. The Welsh public was then able to very clearly see their Government had taken a decision in order to achieve the SDGs. That is something we can try to emulate. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh also has a Bill on this issue.
