I accept Deputy O'Connor is making his arguments. I hope I was not lecturing the Deputy but when he asked whether the targets were feasible, from my perspective it is important for us all to understand that while these targets are extremely challenging, the question is whether it is feasible for us to let this go and to take this risk. I do not think it is. This, then, forces us to be challenged and to reach these targets. In doing so, we must constantly review what we are doing in the context of the climate action plan. To answer the question from Deputy O'Rourke, as well, this will include a rethink of how we appraise projects. We must do this, and we are already doing it. The national investment framework for transport in Ireland, NIFTI, is a new way of looking at investment policy that knits in with our climate targets. We do need new appraisal structures, as the IDA has, in transport and every other sector to ensure we meet these targets.
Turning to the query from Deputy O'Dowd, the planning legislation the Government considered this week includes measures, such as new environmental courts, which will help to improve our planning system and consideration of environmental issues. We cannot, however, ignore this aspect. This is why An Bord Pleanála, correctly and independently, to my mind, made its decision that it could not ignore, or that it had ignored, this aspect. I must be careful here because it is a legal context and I do not wish to say much more. The board recognised, though, that the climate must be considered. Much of this will happen at local authority level, such as in Galway. A new metropolitan transport strategy must be developed there next year and it must have climate as its core, or else it will fall at the first hurdle. Every local authority must develop climate plans next year to ensure it is in tune with what we are doing. As I keep saying regarding the scale of this undertaking, no one yet understands the impact it is going to have, but ignoring it or not doing it is not an option.
