Ivana Bacik (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I endorse what the Leader said about including references to the Seanad, as well as the Dáil, in legislation. The section of this Bill that refers to "Dáil Éireann" should instead refer to "the Oireachtas". I thank Senator Barrett for highlighting the matter. I think we have already made our points about the national mitigation plan in respect of section 6. I accept that there is a difference in the case of an annual transition statement but the same principle should apply in terms of both Houses of the Oireachtas. I will be interested to hear what is said on Report Stage after this issue has been canvassed further.
