The submissions process on how the State can make Ireland a leader in tackling climate change is now closed. Please click here to view submissions received from members of the public, advocacy/interest groups and other representative organisations. A list of Submissions received from NGOs, representative groups, advocacy groups, political parties, commercial entities and academics is available here. Note:This list was originally circulated to members in advance of the Citizens' Assembly's first meeting on Climate Change in September 2017. The list has since been updated to include additional organisations which were inadvertently omitted from the original list. For clarity these have been marked with an asterisk. A signpost document prepared by the Secretariat is available to read here. Submissions Process The submissions process on how the State can make Ireland a leader in tackling climate change is now closed. The closing date for submissions on the topic was 5pm on Friday, 11th of August. Members of the public, representative groups and citizen organisations were urged to make a submission to the Assembly. The Chairperson of the Assembly, the Honourable Mary Laffoy said “The Assembly has been tasked with considering some of the most complex topics facing Irish society and on this occasion, I think it is fair to say we will be looking at something that has posed a challenge for societies right across the world. Climate change, specifically one country or another’s capacity to lead or to step back from the issue, is a global talking point right now therefore it is timely for us to be participating in this discussion." In total, the Assembly received 1,205 submissions. Full details on the breakdown of these submissions are provided below. Of the 1,205 submissions received, 1,180 were received online and 25 were received by post. Of these, 1,185 have been published on the Assembly’s website. In total 20 were not published. Of those submissions received and not published the reasons were as follows: - 1 submission was withdrawn by the author; - 5 submissions were not relevant to the topic; - 14 submissions were duplicates.* (*Where an exact submission was made more than once by the same individual this was only published once. In many cases this happened because the individual made the same submissions in multiple formats, i.e. by post, on line and by email) What aspects of Climate Change did the Assembly look at? In order to give this topic due consideration, the Assembly met over two weekends to consider it; 30th September/ 1st October 2017 and 4th/5th November 2017. A second weekend was added to allow the Members to consider this important issue more fully to enhance the discussion and the eventual recommendations which emerged. Submissions were invited across the full spectrum of issues in relation to Climate Change, but in particular the Assembly sought to hear views on Ireland's energy, transport and agriculture sectors. In addition, the Assembly dovetailed the work of the Assembly with work being undertaken by the advisory group on the National Dialogue on Climate Change. That group will be considering how the State can properly engage the wider public on the issue of climate change and as such submissions addressing this aspect were also welcome. It is hoped that aligning the Citizens' Assembly with the National Dialogue will add to the national discourse on climate change and would ultimately be of benefit to the Members as they considered this issue. How were the submissions used? The submissions play a key role in helping the secretariat and the Expert Advisory Group develop the work programme on the topic and can ultimately shape the recommendations being made by the Members to the Houses of Oireachtas. All submissions are published on the Assembly's website, and a signpost document was prepared for the Members of the Assembly. The signpost document is available to read here.

Tá an próiseas aighneachtaí i ndáil leis an conas is féidir leis an Stát a chinntiú go mbeidh Éire ina ceannródaí maidir le dul i ngleic leis an athrú aeráide anois dúnta. Cliceáil anseo le do thoil chun féachaint ar aighneachtaí a fuarthas ó dhaoine sa phobal, ó ghrúpaí abhcóideachta/leasa agus ó eagraíochtaí ionadaíocha eile. Tá liosta d'Aighneachtaí a fuarthas ó NGOnna, ó ghrúpaí ionadaíochta, ó ghrúpaí abhcóideachta, ó pháirtithe polaitíochta, ó eintitis thráchtála agus ó lucht acadúil le fáil anseo. Nóta: Scaipeadh an liosta seo ar na comhaltaí roimh an gcéad chruinniú ar Athrú Aeráide bhí ag an Tionól Saoránach i Meán Fómhair na bliana 2017. Tugadh an liosta cothrom le dáta ó shin le heagraíochtaí breise a thabhairt san áireamh a bhí fágtha ar lár ón liosta bunaidh. Ar mhaithe le soiléireacht tá siad seo marcáilte le réiltín. Tá cáipéis eolais, a d'ullmhaigh an Rúnaíocht, ar fáil le léamh anseo. An Próiseas chun Aighneacht a dhéanamh Tá an próiseas chun aighneacht a dhéanamh maidir le mar a fhéadfaidh an Stát tír cheannródaíoch a dhéanamh d'Éirinn maidir le dul i ngleic le hathrú aeráide anois dúnta. Ba 5 pm Dé hAoine an 11ú Lúnasa an dáta deiridh chun aighneacht a dhéanamh ar an ábhar. Iarraidh ar dhaoine den phobal, ar ghrúpaí ionadaíochta agus ar eagraíochtaí saoránach aighneacht a dhéanamh chuig an Tionól. Dúirt Cathaoirleach an Tionóil, an tOnórach Mary Laffoy, "Cuireadh de chúram ar an Tionól roinnt de na hábhair is casta atá os comhair shochaí na hÉireann a phlé agus ar an ócáid seo, ceapaim go bhfuil sé féaráilte a rá go mbeimid ag plé ábhair a bhfuil dúshlán cruthaithe aige do shochaithe ar fud an domhain. Tá cúrsaí athraithe aeráide ina ábhar cainte ar fud an domhain faoi láthair, go háirithe cumas thír amháin nó thír eile ceannaireacht a léiriú maidir leis an tsaincheist nó tarraingt siar uaidh, agus mar sin is am tráthúil é seo a bheith rannpháirteach sa bplé seo." Cé na gnéithe d'Athrú Aeráide a scrúdóidh an Tionól? Chun a t-ábhar seo a bhreithniú mar ba chóir, tháinig an Tionól le chéile dhá dheireadh seachtaine lena bhreithniú; an 30 Meán Fómhair/1 Deireadh Fómhair 2017 agus 4/5 Samhain 2017. Cuireadh deireadh seachtaine eile leis chun deis a thabhairt do Bhaill an cheist thábhachtach a bhreithniú níos beaichte fós chun cur leis an bplé agus teacht ar na moltaí a tháinig chun cinn sa deireadh. Fáiltíodh roimh aighneachtaí maidir le gach uile saincheist a bhaineann le hAthrú Aeráide, ach d'fhéach an Tionól ach go háirithe tuairimí a fháil ar earnálacha fuinnimh, iompair agus talmhaíochta na hÉireann. Chomh maith leis sin, cheangail an Tionól obair an Tionóil an obair a bhí ar siúl ag an ngrúpa comhairleach ar an gComhrá Náisiúnta ar Athrú Aeráide. Pléifidh an grúpa sin mar a fhéadfaidh an Stát an pobal níos leithne a mhealladh le bheith rannpháirteach i saincheist an athraithe aeráide agus fáiltíodh roimh aighneachtaí a bhaineann leis an ngné sin freisin. Táthar ag súil mar thoradh ar ailíniú an Tionóil Saoránach leis an gComhrá Náisiúnta go gcuirfear leis an dioscúrsa náisiúnta ar athrú aeráide agus go mbainfidh baill leas as an toradh sin agus an tsaincheist sin á plé acu. Conas mar a baineadh leas as an haighneachtaí? Tá ról tábhachtach ag na haighneachtaí le cuidiú leis an Rúnaíocht agus leis an nGrúpa Comhairleach Saineolaithe an clár oibre ar an ábhar a fhorbairt agus d'fhéadfadh tionchar a bheith acu i ndeireadh báire ar na moltaí a chuirfidh na Baill ar aghaidh chuig Tithe an Oireachtais. Foilsítear gach aighneacht ar láithreán gréasáin an Tionóil agus ullmhaíodh cáipéis eolais do Chomhaltaí an Tionóil. Tá an cháipéis eolais ar fáil le léamh anseo.
