Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This is the last batch of amendments on what should have been an historic item of legislation for Irish society but which is, unfortunately, a bitter disappointment. We are launching a last-ditch effort to make it a bit better than it is and all of these amendments are designed to work with legislation, such as the Scottish Act on which we based many of them. That would have brought about...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: This is a very important amendment because when we are talking about where we are going and where we want to go, we must take account of where we have come from. The amendment seeks to insert specific reference to possible contributions from different sectors of the economy and different sources of emissions. This is critical because performance is uneven. If one looks at the European...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: The Minister of State said that we have to be realistic, which is true. In the real world, Ireland is not on track to reach its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. We are committed to a non-emissions trading sectors reduction of 20% between 2005 and 2020. It is widely established that we are going to be well wide of the mark for this. It is reckoned that we will only achieve a...

Clare Daly: I move amendment No. 131:In page 17, line 25, to delete “30 days” and substitute “10 days”. Briefly, this is about shortening the timeframe for the publication of the advisory council's annual reports. We propose the amendment in the view that this is necessary in order to facilitate public debate and ensure transparency in the process. There should not be any...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)

Clare Daly: It is. The Minister of State is supposed to move it in this batch of amendments. I accept what the Minister of State is saying, namely, it does have the same framework of wording as our amendment. If we had known that, it would have made a difference. I am glad the Minister of State seems to have taken the points on board. The appointment of some of the people to the council has also...
