Carbon Budget: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-04-06
============================================================

Marc Ó Cathasaigh (GP), Waterford

I will not sing it; I will spare Deputy McGrath. It reminds me of my responsibilities in this House, however. Deputy McGrath will know the song; he might join in. It goes:
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
[ ... ]
The battle outside ragin’
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
The times and the climate are changing. It is past time to act. Let us heed the call, as Mr. Zimmerman asked, and support the adoption of these carbon budgets this evening.
