I very much welcome the launch today of the report of the Joint Committee on Climate Action. The way in which the committee did its work reflects very well on these Houses. I am now interested to know the Government's timeline in presenting its own national energy and climate action plan by the end of this year, as we have agreed with the European Union. What interactive role does the Taoiseach see this House taking with the Government, as laid out in EU governance rules, in the shaping and development of that report? We will continue our work to the end of this year. The committee has a very good team of advisers. It also has the ability to link into the process relating to the Government's drafting of the report. I am keen to hear how best we might do this.

The Minister, Deputy Bruton, is finalising his all-of-Government climate action plan, which will be very much informed by the findings of the all-party Joint Committee on Climate Action. He anticipates bringing the plan to Government in May. Obviously, the most important thing then will be to get on with implementing it rather than just having plans. I am pleased that just in recent days An Post has confirmed, for example, that all its deliveries in Dublin within the canals will be carried out by electrical vehicles and that it will extend that to all cities next year. This is just a small example of the kinds of practical things that are happening and that are making a difference.
