Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I welcome the fact the Government has set up a new committee to deal with climate change and energy security. Obviously this is of considerable importance to business and everybody in the country. We have not yet seen the terms of reference for that committee. I suggest that before those terms of reference are drafted for this committee, that discussions take place with the other parties in the House on the extent of what that committee may be able to deal with. It is a fundamentally important issue and I would like to think the terms of reference would be discussed by the parties before being adopted, in order that the committee can give of its best on what is a really important issue.
