Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Nov 2019)

Barry Cowen: I thank the unions for their presentation. I welcome, in particular, the commentary regarding the consultation that they would expect to ensure that a just transition is more meaningful than it has been to date, the need for the role of the just transition commissioner to be broadened or for another process to be put in place to allow all parties to contribute to the just transition.
