There are two proposals to put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with today's business agreed to?

It is not agreed. The Government's climate action plan was launched yesterday with great aplomb with members of the Cabinet arriving in a hybrid bus, which I understand is one of very few such buses in the fleet.

Are there three of them?

Yes.

It was one of three.

I would have thought that time would be set aside to discuss this plan, this whole-of-government approach, because the issues are very real in terms of how we transition to a low-carbon society and economy and how we achieve climate justice. A debate on this is very urgent. The Government ought to have scheduled time for it this week.

The Deputy is absolutely right. We would be happy, through the Business Committee, to find time to debate it and that would be entirely appropriate. It is a very big plan with many annexes so perhaps people need some time to read it.

On a point of fact, there are three hybrid buses.

The Deputy is not interested in the facts because the facts do not suit him. There are three Dublin Bus hybrid buses.

There are 200 diesel buses.

There are six arriving in next week or two and 600 are on order. This is the climate action plan in action. No more high-emission vehicles are being purchased by Dublin Bus or Bus Éireann for our cities. Three hybrid buses have arrived already. There has to be a first one. Six more will arrive in the next few weeks and-----

There are no buses for rural Ireland.

-----600 are on order. This is climate action happening.

The Business Committee will be consulted and time will be sought this week for a debate on this matter if that is possible.

Will we go on a bus?

Is the business for today agreed to? Agreed. Is the business for Wednesday agreed to? Agreed.

We will proceed to questions on promised legislation. Some 22 Deputies have already indicated. I call Deputy Martin.
