Neither I nor the Secretary General of my Department are currently attending recurring weekly meetings featuring climate change as an agenda item.
However, ongoing issues surrounding climate action and the Government's Climate Action Plan are discussed at various meetings as required.
The Secretary General of my Department is also a member of the Climate Action Delivery Board which is being established by the Department of the Taoiseach.
The purpose of the Delivery Board is to ensure effective whole of Government delivery of the Climate Action Plan, which was published by Government last month.
