Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is an important part of the Government's response to climate change and a valid question. During the term of the previous Government, it was not possible to get agreement between the then Ministers, former Deputy Alex White and Deputy Kelly. The Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Denis Naughten, and the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government, Deputy Coveney, are having real discussions about it and it is a focus of a considerable deal of attention from the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten. I expect that he should be in a position to conclude his discussions reasonably soon. I do not want to put a date on it.
