View answerMy Department will consider recommendations of the Climate Advisory Council in conjunction with other relevant Departments and Agencies where appropriate, including the recommendations in the letter of 16/10/2023 to the joint Oireachtas Committee, a copy of which has forwarded to me by the Committee Chair. Any proposed legislative change would need to align with EU law and policy objectives.
