Climate Action Plan
Dail Éireann — 2025-04-10
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I am sure I will be very satisfied with the Minister’s answer. We are in April, the fourth month of the year, and the Minister still has not published the climate action plan for 2025. Will the Minister tell me when it is going to be published? What has the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael-Lowry Government taken out from the draft plan that was submitted last December, before it came into office? What are the big new actions in it that will close the massive gap with our emissions target?

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal East

Even for you, you are in gas form this morning. There is a reason the climate action plan was not published. It was a thing called the general election and Government formation. That has been done. The climate action plan will be coming to the Government within the next two weeks and it will be published then. In addition, we have no Oireachtas joint committee at the moment and that needs to happen, so there were reasons. There was nothing taken out and, if anything, we have added to it. I am looking forward to getting to work on CAP 2026, which is the really important one. I look forward to the Deputy’s constructive engagement and suggestions in that regard, which I would very much welcome. It will be within two weeks, or maybe next week if I can get it to Cabinet, although it might be the following Cabinet meeting. We will publish it then. I look forward to the Deputy’s views and comments on it.
