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

We are not going fast enough. We need to deliver more. This Government has brought in groundbreaking legislation in the form of the climate law. The climate action plan has been published. A detailed annexe to that plan will be published. It will include hundreds of detailed actions that have to follow from the plan. Not only do we need public buy-in, but everybody in the Houses of the Oireachtas should support the plan rather than knock it or seek to pick holes in it. We are racing against time to protect the planet for future generations in order that they will be able to have a reasonable quality of life. The time has now come to start delivering on the targets we have set ourselves and on the objectives in the climate action plan that has been published.
