Rather than oppose the Order of Business, I seek clarity from the Cathaoirleach or the Deputy Leader on the proposals concerning the debate on climate change. I asked for the legislation to be honoured not only by the letter but by the spirit of it. The legislation was passed in 2015, which means we take a whole-of-Government response. What happened yesterday evening was a disgrace. I ask that each Minister come back in and engage in a proper debate, as outlined under the 2015 Act. That is the only approach that is acceptable to this House. I do not want to oppose the Order of Business but that is what I am looking for the Deputy Leader to do.
