This proposed amendment appears out of place in section 2. I am also not sure how practical it is to expect to quantify the costs to the HSE associated with climate change. One of my amendments, amendment No. 46, includes a reference to the protection of public health in section 4(7) of the Bill as it relates to the preparation of national mitigation plans. Accordingly, I cannot support this amendment but I accept the intent behind it.
