Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Deputy to allow me to respond. In regard to climate change more generally, the Government is determined to be a leader in this area. This will require some policy decisions for which I hope we will have the support of other parties in this House. Climate change is not always about making the easy decisions and spending more money. It is also about policy change that will need political leadership and cross-party support.
