Climate change mitigation plan

Summary

Deputy Pringle asked whether the national climate change mitigation plan had reached Cabinet and whether it would be published and debated with amendments allowed. The Taoiseach said it had not yet reached Cabinet but would be published and debated once approved.

The national climate change mitigation plan was supposed to be published 18 months from the passing of the legislation to implement it. That date has now passed. Has the national mitigation plan come to the Cabinet? Will the Taoiseach bring it to the Dáil to allow it to be debated? Will he allow for amendments to be put forward, because all indications are that the plan will have serious failings?

It has not come to Cabinet yet. Once it does and once we approve it, we will then be in a position to publish it and have a debate in the House.
