Ivana Bacik: That is an important and practical question. I will add another before I give you all the last word. It is on the point about accessibility in settings. It is also a very gendered point.

Ivana Bacik: That is a nice, positive note on which to finish. When looking at the Citizens' Assembly recommendations related to children we are very conscious of the need to ensure children's rights and a child-centred approach would inform our deliberations, as they informed the assembly's deliberations.

Ivana Bacik: Today's report from the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, makes for truly alarming reading. Even in the unlikely event that we meet all of our goals in the climate action plan and see those policies fully implemented on time, we know our greenhouse gas emissions would only fall by 28% by 2030, just half of what is legally required in accordance with the Government's own laws. Labour has...
