With the Leas-Cheann Comhairle's indulgence, before we proceed, I would like some clarity relating to a question I put down on climate change which, I was surprised to learn, was ruled out of order.

I am not sure I can give that clarity off the top of my head. I am sure if the Deputy were to have a discussion with the Ceann Comhairle's office, it could give him all the clarity he requires.

I did but I was not entirely satisfied. I cannot understand how a question on meeting our objectives on climate change in the programme for Government can be ruled out of order.

I will talk to the Ceann Comhairle's office and ensure the Deputy receives a communication on it.
