Working closely with relevant Departmental stakeholders and with the European Commission, my Department is currently preparing Ireland’s Social Climate Plan, the measures in which will support vulnerable groups impacted by the rising price of carbon.

My Department is committed to developing robust and high-quality measures, guided by meaningful stakeholder input, to ensure that the funds are appropriately targeted to those most vulnerable.

In this context, a range of consultation processes at key points in the development of the Plan are envisaged. The first of those, an open public and stakeholder consultation, will launch in the coming weeks.

Following public consultation and stakeholder engagement, the Plan will be submitted to the Commission for approval in the latter part of the year.
