TDs reviewing the Climate Action Bill ahead of Dáil debate on it have expressed their frustration after Minister Eamon Ryan said the only amendments he was likely to accept were his own. A Dáil committee has begun examining 239 proposed amendments to the bill which the Minister wants passed into law before the summer break. The members had only got through a few, however, when the Minister told them he could not see any of them being accepted. “It is not a bill that’s going to be easily amended,” he said. Several amendments were withdrawn with leave to reintroduce them in the Dáil, while 21 others were defeated.
