I am conscious that Ireland remains substantially short of the targets which have been set previously. I have secured government approval to develop an all of government plan, which will set out the actions which need to be taken in order for us to step up our level of ambition. The plan will focus on implementation, the actions which need to be taken, with strict timelines for implementation assigned. The engagement I am having in developing the all of government plan will inform the engagement I will have in discussing with EU colleagues how we can be more ambitious.
