Research and Innovation Bill 2024: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-23
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 9:
In page 9, to delete lines 15 to 19 and substitute the following:
“(3) In this Act, references to environmental development and sustainability shall be construed as references to developments and actions which comply with actions under the Paris Agreement, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, includes actions in respect of social, economic, cultural and environmental development, climate and biodiversity.”.
I will withdraw the amendment, but I reserve the right to reintroduce it on Report Stage.
