Climate change report debate
Deputy Collins asked when the IPCC climate report would be brought to the House for debate. The Taoiseach said that was a matter for the Business Committee.
Young Friends of the Earth, Dublin Eco-Feminist Coven, Stop Climate Chaos and Not Here, Not Anywhere organised a demonstration at short notice outside Leinster House at lunch time today because they were hugely concerned about the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on global warming issued last week and the need for far-reaching transitions in the areas of land, energy, industry, building, transport and cities. When will the Government bring the report to the House to be debated because we need to discuss it in great detail, particularly in the light of it not bringing forward a carbon tax in the budget announced last week?
