The Taoiseach says all the right things when it comes to climate. He talks about the stark challenges and urgency. Where is the urgency when it comes to setting the sectoral targets? The longer it takes to set those targets, the more onerous it will be for us to meet them. Is his Government too afraid to deal with the issue of agriculture?

We need each sector to play its part when it comes to meeting our climate targets and our climate challenge. Is the Taoiseach up for that challenge?
