Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I said I wanted a Bill put before the House and one was put before the House. The Government's public legislation programme will be published next week, on 15 September, as is always the case. Deputy Boyd Barrett is correct. There is a programme for Government. There are three substantial Bills, including the climate Bill, which we said we would publish within 100 days as key and substantive piece legislation to deal with the climate change agenda.

I know some people opposite me may not have the same enthusiasm with regard to climate change because every time anything comes up in regard to it, be it renewable energy or carbon, Deputies will always oppose it and then pronounce that they are for climate change. That is politics.
