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

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

I am afraid I cannot accept the amendment. While I understand the motivation behind it, the mechanisms for the allocation of funding from the climate action fund are set out in section 37B(9) of the National Oil Reserves Agency Act 2007, as amended. These have already been amended by this Bill to include funding for community-led initiatives on biodiversity. The funding calls will all be in line with the Government's climate and energy policy strategies. It would not be appropriate to amend those in the way set out in this amendment. The Bill is sufficiently well structured at present.
