My Department is in regular contact with other Departments as part of its expenditure management function. This includes the Departments of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Environment, Climate and Communications.

In relation to the Climate Action and Biodiversity (Mandates of Certain Organisations) Bill 2023, I understand that my officials have had some limited engagement with their colleagues in both Departments on this legislation.

The Government's response to the Bill is being led by my colleague, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. As such, questions regarding the Government's response to the Bill should be directed to that Minister.
