Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Will the Taoiseach advise us of the membership of the Cabinet sub-committee on climate change? For example, is the Minister for Transport a member of that sub-committee? Given that public transport is a matter of concern, not only for those of us who would like to see more of it, does increased public transport not discourage the use of cars and reduce carbon emissions? I expect the Taoiseach also holds that view. Does he not believe that it would be important to call an emergency meeting of the Cabinet sub-committee on climate change given Bus Éireann's announcement of its decision to cut 162 buses and 320 staff over the coming weeks?
