Ivana Bacik (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I wish to make the same point I made in respect of amendment No. 20, which was also tabled by Senator Barrett. It is appropriate that the Minister be referred to in the legislation but it is important to commend Senator Barrett on his work in seeking to include both Houses of the Oireachtas, particularly the Seanad, when we are talking about the national mitigation plan and the proposal to lay a five-yearly report before the Oireachtas. I echo what Senator Cáit Keane has said. We will be returning to that issue on Report Stage.
