I propose to take Questions Nos. 94 and 99 together.

The Programme for Government sets out a strong framework for climate action to secure a better, healthier, and more resilient future for Ireland. It also sets out commitments to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and to taking all necessary action to ensure and protect Ireland’s energy security.

The achievement of these climate and energy goals will of course be challenging. The scale of resources needed to transform to a secure and stable green energy system means that we must step-change investment, both public and private.

As I indicated earlier this year, I believe that it is important to work with all stakeholders to ensure that we have the conditions in place to achieve this energy transformation in an effective, timely and sustainable manner, while ensuring the ongoing competitiveness of the Irish economy.

Along with the Minister for Environment, Energy and Communications, I plan to engage with public and private sector representatives shortly about how a Climate Investment Clearing House could help to deliver on these objectives.
