View answerMy Department continues to oversee the preparation of Ireland's draft national Social Climate Plan in consultation with relevant Departmental stakeholders and with the European Commission.
The public consultation to inform the development of Ireland's Social Climate Plan, which I launched on 11 September, concluded on 23 October. The consultation received 124 responses, 88 via the EU survey website and 36 directly by e-mail.
Officials are currently reviewing the submissions which will inform the further development of the plan. A high level summary of the feedback received will be available in due course.
My Department continues to work towards the finalisation of the plan. It has agreed a revised timeframe of end March 2026 with the European Commission for the submission of the plan to the Commission for its final approval.
