I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, line 14, to delete “both.”.” and substitute the following:“both.

Prohibition of exploration, extraction or exploitation of petroleum

5D.(1) National land and waters should be managed for the benefit of the people of Ireland to avoid the dangerous impacts of climate change and promote a rapid and just transition to clean energy.

(2) The Minister shall not issue, renew, reinstate, or extend any licence or other exploitation rights for the exploration, extraction, production or prospecting of petroleum onshore or offshore.”.”.
