I propose to take Questions Nos. 2 to 6 together.

The Cabinet committee on climate change and the green economy has met on two occasions in the past year on 25 November 2013 and 24 February 2014. In addition, the associated senior officials group meets as appropriate throughout the year to ensure a co-ordinated approach to the Government's priorities in this area, including work on preparing the climate action and low carbon development Bill; preparation of the national low carbon roadmap to 2050 with inputs from the relevant sectors; preparation of Ireland's input to EU discussions on a 2030 climate and energy framework; 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. The Cabinet committee will meet again during the coming year, as required.
