Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I propose to take Questions Nos. 12 to 18, inclusive, together.

The climate action delivery board is jointly chaired by the Secretaries General of the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. Membership of the delivery board consists of Secretaries General from those Government Departments which have the main responsibilities for climate action delivery. Meetings are also attended by the chiefs of staff of the three Government parties. A full list of the members of the board and its terms of reference are available on the Department of the Taoiseach website.

The climate action delivery board has met once so far this year, on 15 February.

The delivery board met four times in 2022 and will continue to meet on a quarterly basis to provide strategic direction and co-ordination of the Government's climate action agenda. The climate action plan 2023 has given the delivery board an additional role in providing recommendations to the Cabinet committee on environment and climate change on measures required to overcome any barriers or impediments to the implementation of climate policies.
