I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to set a target for the year 2050 for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; to establish the Department of the Taoiseach as the co-ordinating department under the Act; to confer powers on the Taoiseach to make regulations; to provide for carbon budgets; to establish an Office of Climate Change and Renewable Energy and a Climate Change Commission; to amend the Carbon Fund Act 2007; to put in place a framework and enabling provisions to meet European Union and international commitments on climate change; and to provide for related matters.
