In the context of implementing the Programme for the development of national climate policy and legislation which I announced in January 2012, my Department is in on-going contact with all Departments concerned through the cross-Departmental structure that supports the Cabinet Committee on Climate Change and the Green Economy. In line with the Programme, I will be making heads of a Climate Bill available before the end of this year, for consideration by both the Oireachtas Joint Committee on the Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht, and stakeholders.
