Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I propose to take Questions Nos. 4, 5 and 6 together.

The Cabinet Committee on Climate Change and the Green Economy last met on 5 November 2012. At this meeting, the Cabinet committee considered an extensive work programme that has been under way during 2013 and which included work on preparing the climate action and low carbon development Bill; preparation of national and sectoral low-carbon roadmaps to 2050; preparation of Ireland's input to international climate change negotiations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; and implementation of a range of actions to support jobs and growth in the green economy.

This work programme is overseen by senior officials from a number of Departments who meet on a regular basis. The Cabinet committee is scheduled to meet again later this month, on 25 November, when I expect it will consider the progress that has been made on the extensive work programme, and any issues arising.
