Rather than oppose the Order of Business, I seek clarity from the Cathaoirleach or the Deputy Leader on the proposals concerning the debate on climate change. I asked for the legislation to be honoured not only by the letter but by the spirit of it. The legislation was passed in 2015, which means we take a whole-of-Government response. What happened yesterday evening was a disgrace. I ask that each Minister come back in and engage in a proper debate, as outlined under the 2015 Act. That is the only approach that is acceptable to this House. I do not want to oppose the Order of Business but that is what I am looking for the Deputy Leader to do.

I will come back in briefly in order to be helpful. The only assurance I have for January is that the Minister for Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Bruton, is available. As the lead Minister, it might make sense for him to come to the House rather than have a number of Ministers present. I am just talking off the top of my head.

That was a disgrace.

Rather than have Ministers waiting for one another, we could allow each of them to come on a weekly or fortnightly basis to interact with us for seven weeks. Perhaps it is novel to have all the Ministers here but I felt it was a forum did not make a lot of sense.

It was a disgrace.

I believe it would make sense to have the Minister for Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Bruton, come to the House in January and then to follow up with a different Minister every week or second week on the sectoral issues, as suggested by Senator Humphreys.

What mechanism is open to Seanad Members in regard to the enforcement of the 2015 Act? Is it open to us to make an official complaint to you, a Chathaoirligh, or to a committee of this House on what happened here yesterday evening?

I cannot comment on the enforcement of the Act but I am sure the Deputy Leader can follow that up. To avoid a vote, the Deputy Leader has suggested a full debate as early as possible in January and she has committed to that.

Could I suggest that when the Leader is back next week, a meeting of the party leaders could discuss a proposal that would work? A schedule would be required for a workable proposal. I do not think anyone in here is trying to have a bad debate on climate change. It was not anyone's intention. We tried something. It did not work. We can try a different approach. I think the leaders could meet to agree what would work best.
