The Government appointed Mr Kieran Mulvey as Just Transition Commissioner in November 2019 to facilitate discussions and work with stakeholders to develop, mobilise and deliver opportunities for the Midlands for both the workers directly affected and the wider community. The Commissioner has prepared three progress reports to date and the first two reports are available on my Department's website at www.gov.ie/decc, with the third report to be published shortly.

The Commissioner is undertaking his work with administrative support provided by my Department. To date, the Commissioner has been paid a total of €25,253.02, including expenses, for his work for the period up to the end of December 2020.
