Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2022
201. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the actions, if any, that have been taken to inform relevant bodies of their obligations under section 15 of the Climate Act 2021 as amended. [53571/22]
View answerSection 15(1) of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Acts 2015 to 2021 includes provisions regarding the duties of relevant bodies. The Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies states that every State body should have due regard to its legal responsibilities and the objectives set by Government. Communications between my Department and such bodies often occur in contexts related to their obligations. For example, numerous relevant bodies have participated in the preparation of the upcoming Climate Action Plan 2023.
