Concerns have been raised that the legislation does not have sufficient protections for sectors which will suffer job losses as a result.
TDs from the Rural Independent Group have criticised the bill, accusing the government of ignoring the people of rural Ireland.
The Rural Independent group said today that the government’s climate bill will ‘kill off the Irish farmer’.
The Climate Action Bill has been launched by the government.
MEP Grace O’Sullivan gives a broad welcome to Ireland’s Climate Action Bill and the EU’s Climate Law, both on the table this week.
The 30-year programme commits to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The Dáil was also temporarily suspended following questioning from TD Paul Murphy.
The bill was blocked from progressing by the government last week.
