- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: We have targets for 2030, which is five years away, but that has not been budgeted for, essentially. I am not saying it is SEAI's role but it is a political decision to budget for that level of investment to achieve our targets.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: Those are innovative solutions. People will often find that from what seems a good solution, only a small amount of energy is generated. That is why as a society we are addicted to fossil fuels. They are energy dense and useful but have created a catastrophic challenge for us. If the witnesses were to change anything or say anything to the politicians, what can be looked at to help the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: Okay. So more money is the answer. I thank Mr. Walsh. We were about to finish up but I see Senator Higgins has arrived just in time if she wants to ask her questions.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Update on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate: Discussion (15 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: I thank Senator Higgins for those questions. I thank the OGP and SEAI representatives for their in-depth answers, which are greatly appreciated. The witnesses’ time has been very well spent in informing us of the work they are doing in both organisations. We are at a point where much progress needs to happen in the next few years. Although we are not the line committee for the OGP,...
- Report on Energy Poverty 2024: Motion (10 Oct 2024)

In my opening remarks, I referred to the extra...

- Report on Energy Poverty 2024: Motion (10 Oct 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I thank the Minister of State and I thank all three Deputies for contributing. As someone who, at the Business Committee, has to manage competing demands for additional time to talk on important matters, I have to say it is profoundly disappointing to come in here tonight to have a topic of enormous importance before us and, apart from Deputy Ó Cathasaigh as Leas-Chathaoirleach and the...
