Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies for their comments on this very historic day. The issue of involving the Seanad in oversight was debated in this House. When we debated the legislation in the Seanad, it became obvious that getting that House's views on mitigation, transition, adaptation and the annual statements would be important. These amendments provide that those statements will be laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. It is positive that we will get the views of both Houses of the Oireachtas on this. Again, I thank the Deputies for their comments.
