Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)

Timmy Dooley: They are important. We need to do some scenario planning. I am sure the Department is doing some. Mr. Watt might not be in a position to make guesstimates too far ahead. It is better that we spend money now on trying to develop programmes and plans that will reduce our compliance cost.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)

Timmy Dooley: We can be pedantic about these matters but, in essence, it will be money out of the Exchequer. When that point is reached, the loaves and fishes that have been mentioned will be much more scarce. It would be helpful to advise other Departments about making moneys available now rather than having to-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)

Timmy Dooley: That is why we have to get the activity on the heating and transport area rather than the productive side, such as agriculture. Yesterday, Bord na Móna appeared before the committee and it had some exciting new opportunities in addition to its decarbonisation programme. Bord na Móna has a remit to try to stabilise the economy in which it is based and to create employment. It has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (14 Nov 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I have some concern about that. When one sees the fluctuation in the price of fossil fuel at the pumps at present, it does not seem to be enough of a deterrent. In Ireland we are quite used to massive fluctuations in oil prices. The Government has to go further with the carrot in the initial stages to try to achieve that change.

Mr. Donnellan finished off where I was about to start, which is the mandate under which Bord na Móna was established and, in principle, the recognition of the necessity to address a jobs crisis that existed in that region. As the company...

Timmy Dooley: I was thinking more in terms of any vegetation that would be useful for carbon sequestration and perhaps not a cash crop. I recognise that Bord na Móna will no longer harvest peat. I am sure that much of the company's land will never generate any income or activity in the future but there is a potential that some vegetation will grow, which will have some carbon capture over and above...
