Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I very much welcome the launch today of the report of the Joint Committee on Climate Action. The way in which the committee did its work reflects very well on these Houses. I am now interested to know the Government's timeline in presenting its own national energy and climate action plan by the end of this year, as we have agreed with the European Union. What interactive role does the Taoiseach see this House taking with the Government, as laid out in EU governance rules, in the shaping and development of that report? We will continue our work to the end of this year. The committee has a very good team of advisers. It also has the ability to link into the process relating to the Government's drafting of the report. I am keen to hear how best we might do this.
