Comment on this
The Cabinet committee considered this issue the other day in terms of the principles and objectives for 2030 and 2050. It is difficult to assess what will happen during that period. The Bill will be published next year. As the Deputy is aware, there are implications for Ireland in terms of what other countries do in a global sense.
