- Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)
Paudie Coffey: This proposed amendment provides for the Minister to give guidance to the expert advisory council in relation to the exercise of its functions, excluding guidance as to the content of any advice or report. I am somewhat surprised by the amendment, as it appears genuinely to weaken the independence of the expert advisory council. That is something many Deputies spoke about in terms of...

- Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)
Paudie Coffey: This proposed amendment calls for the expert advisory council to report and provide advice in respect of proposed annual targets - an interim target for 2050 and a final target for 2050. As I have already explained, I do not accept the validity of the inclusion of such domestic targets in the Bill. Therefore, I cannot accept the amendment. As I said earlier, the national mitigation plan...

Paudie Coffey: The proposed amendment relates to reviewing progress on annual domestic mitigation targets, an interim target for 2020 and a final target for 2050. As I do not accept the validity of establishing domestic mitigation targets divorced from EU processes, I cannot support this amendment.

- Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)
Paudie Coffey: This proposed amendment calls for the shortening in the timeframe for the expert advisory council to conduct its first periodic review from 18 months after establishment to six months. The first periodic review will, of course, be an important one, in that it is specifically charged with analysing the progress made in meeting our mitigation targets up to the year 2020 under the EU’s...
- Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Sep 2015)
Paudie Coffey: I thank the Deputies. I note their argument and that they have a genuine reason for proposing the amendment. On the other hand, I also believe we need to afford the council reasonable time to allow it to have a deep engagement with all of the sectors for what is a vital piece of work on behalf of the State. As I have already outlined, 18 months is a maximum period. There is adequate...
