Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

David Cullinane: Mr. Mulvey was not given a specific budget, he does not have a physical office yet and he is not working to any plan, other than the terms of reference he was given. That is what I was referring to regarding the perception of those on the front line whose jobs are the ones we need to protect and those we need to convince that climate action will be done in a fair and just way. Everything I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

David Cullinane: That is within the confines of the €11 million. Mr. Mulvey has no budget beyond that. Mr. Mulvey has €11 million and he can go and consult and there can be great plans, but if the money is not there for them, all they are are great plans. It is not even a budget of Mr. Mulvey's.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed) (18 Dec 2019)

David Cullinane: I wish Mr. Mulvey well. He has an important role. There are questions about the limitation of his terms of reference, which are not for Mr. Mulvey. None of the criticisms that I would have are directed at Mr. Mulvey. They are more directed at the lack of planning and foresight that we have seen in the Government in this area.
