============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The Government has a very strong climate change agenda. It is quite radical and transformative and I hope the Deputy will support all aspects of it. Her party opposed the cross-party approach to climate change in the previous Oireachtas and tends to take an à la carte approach to climate change when it suits. We take the Supreme Court judgment on board. The new climate change Bill will be quite comprehensive and set strong targets. Crucially, there will be an independent oversight approach in terms of the council that will be established as a result of the Bill passing in the Oireachtas. The Deputy can take it that we will seek to strengthen oversight and the whole approach and thrust of climate change policy.
