Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-09
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

Senator Pauline O'Reilly is correct. In the structure of the Bill and various sections throughout, the Aarhus Convention is respected in the consultation and in the reference to debate and discussion. It has been specifically designed to be in compliance with the Aarhus Convention.
I agree that rather than having to list every convention that we have to comply with, be it the sustainable development goals, the Aarhus Convention or others, it is in the actual structure of the Bill that the provisions are best reflected and on that basis, I do not accept the amendment.
