Before I call on the Minister, I thank everybody for participating in this important debate. Mary Robinson, at the launch of Seanad 100, set a challenge for the Seanad to take a leading role in regard to climate action justice. I thank members of the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action, including Senator O'Reilly and other Senators, who have used the Seanad Chamber. We have opened our doors to the issue. We have brought members of Foróige, young people from Comhairle na nÓg and other organisation to discuss the issue. As Senator Chambers pointed out, we have made it an everyday topic. It is being discussed more and more. It needs to be an everyday topic because every day we are running out of time.
