The Cabinet Committee on Europe oversees implementation of Programme for Government commitments in relation to the European Union and related issues.

It generally meets in advance of a meeting of the European Council.

Previous meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Europe took place on 16 July 2020, 8 October 2020 & 8 December 2020. It will continue to meet as appropriate, including to discuss issues on the agenda of the European Council.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 39 to 41, inclusive, together.

There is not a dedicated Cabinet Committee that deals with transport, rather transport related matters are discussed in a number of Cabinet Committees as appropriate.

This occurs most usually at the Cabinet Committee on Economic Recovery and Investment and the Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Recovery and Investment last met on 16 September 2021, and is scheduled to meet again on 30 September 2021. The Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change last met on 1 July 2021 and will next meet in the coming weeks.

The Cabinet Committee on the Environment and Climate Change last met on 1 July 2021 and will meet again in the coming weeks.

This Cabinet Committee oversees the implementation of the ambitious Programme for Government commitments in relation to the environment and climate change.

These commitments include those reflected in the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Act 2021, which was enacted in July.

The Committee also oversees implementation of the Climate Action Plan 2019 and the Interim Climate Actions for 2021, as well as the preparation of the forthcoming Climate Action Plan 2021.
