Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Inflation: Discussion (resumed) (24 Nov 2021)

Climate Action Plan 2021: Statements (23 Nov 2021)

Seán Canney: I am glad the Minister of State is in the House to hear my few humble words on the climate action plan.

The proof of the pudding for any plan is in its implementation. We need this plan and I agree we need to implement it....
