745. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will make a statement on recommendations No. 22 and No. 13 of the Report of the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss. [18093/23]
View answerI strongly welcome the publication of the report of this Assembly and am grateful to members of the Assembly for their dedication and commitment to the process. The Assembly agreed 159 recommendations, including 73 high level and 86 sectoral specific recommendations, reflecting the depth and breadth of the topics discussed.
The recommendations of the assembly will now be deliberated by the relevant committee in the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Committee will, in turn, bring its conclusions to the Houses for debate. The Government will provide, in the Houses of the Oireachtas, a response to each recommendation of the Assembly and, in accepting some or all of the recommendations, will indicate the timeframe it envisages for implementing those recommendations.
