Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (8 Jun 2021)

Carol Nolan: I am disappointed the amendment is not being accepted. We need to be reasonable and sensible, weigh up everything and make sure there is thorough assessment and evaluation.

County Offaly will bear the brunt of the greatest job...

Carol Nolan: I thank all the guests here today. It has come up at previous meetings, and through TUI research, that Irish children are less likely to experience bullying.
