It was uplifting when the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act was passed by the Oireachtas. I thought it was a sound foundation on which to build, but, unfortunately, there has been no follow-through. The one thing that has operated extremely well is the expert advisory group which is being excellently chaired by Mr. John Fitzgerald. In many ways, it has held the Government to account. The Act was the high point, but there has since been failure after failure.

I certainly got a lift yesterday when I saw the 600 young children protesting outside Leinster House.
