Seanad Debate on Climate Protection Bill

On Wednesday 3rd October the Seanad debated a Climate Protection Bill tabled by 5 independent senators. The Government, for the first time, accepted the principle of legislation and have given more time for the bill to be debated in December. Should the bill be passed it would be a huge step for Irish climate change policy, giving one part of Stop Climate Chaos' call to action the force of law.
