In April 2014, the Government approved the General Scheme of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill. The Bill is listed among the Bills expected to be published during the Autumn Session,as part of the Government’s Legislation Programme. Drafting of the Bill has now been finalised within the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. Accordingly, I intend to seek Government approval to publish the Bill in the coming weeks, with the objective of introducing it and progressing its passage through the Oireachtas as quickly as possible thereafter.
