I thank the Leader for the work he did in inviting the appropriate Minister to make a statement on climate action and low-carbon development. I hope and believe this will be a landmark day for the House, as we will see - for the first time - real and positive action on how Ireland can show leadership when it comes to climate change. I ask the Leader to ensure there is adequate time for the Minister to respond to contributions from Senators. When the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, came before the House recently, it was unfortunate that he spent too much time talking about rugby and not enough speaking about his policies. I ask the Leader to ensure that there is adequate time for responses to contributions from the Senators. I compliment the Leader and his staff on ensuring this debate is taking place today.
