It will be imminent. I cannot commit in the same way I did previously, that the regulations would come next week before the Dáil rises, because this is difficult and complex. It is not just the likes of agriculture, which attracts much of the public attention. In the Department of Transport, the scale of what needs to be done is beyond compare. It is the same in the industrial sector. What we need to do is a complete transformation of everything in the whole swath of different areas of our society. It is better get that right and bring people with us.

For agriculture, the way we would bring people with us and make the leap and the scale is to provide income through new mechanisms as we decarbonise. This will bring a whole new generation of young people into forestry, farming, renewable energy and carbon farming. That is part of where we will see each sector playing its role.
