This question flows from an earlier question on climate change in reply to which the Minister was a little defensive. I did not say the Department had done nothing but it has not done enough in the context of climate change and the fact that transport is the second largest non-emissions trading sector. This has a key impact on our emissions targets, particularly now, given we were not on target to meet the 2o target. The Paris agreement has changed that to 1.5o by 2050. What change in public transport plans will the Minister put in place to take account of the new agreement reached in Paris last week?
