I was delighted to see the announcement of a citizens' assembly on biodiversity last week. It is a core issue and of primary importance to us in the Green Party. It is also important for anybody who has care and consideration for future generations and the environment they will grow up in here in Ireland. Will the Taoiseach provide a timeline on when the assembly will commence and report to the Oireachtas? Will he ensure the supports will be in place for that citizens' assembly to carry out that vital work?

My recollection of my notes from yesterday is that we intend to commence this in April. I believe it will be brought before the Business Committee either this week or next week so we can get agreement in the House on the matter. We are moving fairly quickly on this.
