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

Yes, I know. When I was in opposition the last time, the only committee that did its work honourably, or at least the majority did, was the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action. It made recommendations that were not palatable electorally but Oireachtas committees are not often disposed to making recommendations that are electorally unpalatable. That said, I will read the report and I accept the points made regarding the core principles. We need to engage further.
