I thank the witnesses for their insights and expertise. It is good to see a fellow Maynooth person up there. It was great to see Professor Daly over the summer as well. There was a previous question on the recommendation made by Professor McMullin that the council be requested to commission an open, independent peer review of the appropriate methodologies for assessment of carbon budgets. The professor mentioned the IPCC process and stated it would be an open peer-review process. Are there comparative countries or economies we can look to for best practice?
