Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Eamon Ryan is wrong here. If the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment had not had his accident, I expect that the dialogue to which we committed following the Deputy's own attendance at the Cabinet sub-committee, which was a useful meeting, would be up and running by now. It is the Minister's intention fully to engage with the groups Deputy Eamon Ryan brought to that meeting to let them have their opportunity to contribute to this.

Perhaps the Deputy should meet the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment to have a full appraisal of the extent of what is going on in terms of the agenda and the complex discussions that are taking place about mitigation and reaching our targets, both here and at a Brussels level. I have a wealth of information here which I will not have time to outline for the Deputy now. Perhaps he should have a full appraisal with the Minister and afterwards, if the Deputy feels there are particular issues he wishes to pursue further, we would be happy to work with him.
