Very briefly, I welcome my mum, Madeleine, to the Gallery. It is extra special that she is here because she is joined by some of her oldest friends, her childhood friends, who are all very welcome.

Longest term friends. In her inauguration speech yesterday, Catherine Connolly said climate change is one of the greatest challenges of her time. President Connolly intends to make this a key focus of her Presidency, and I really welcome that. This is especially important given that climate change has fallen way down the Government's agenda. I am sure the Taoiseach will deny that but the facts are the facts. This Government is on course to spectacularly miss its climate targets. I read the speech the Taoiseach delivered at COP30. I agreed with much of it, but I found it hard to square his climate rhetoric with his climate inaction. He implored world leaders to "tell it as it is" and told delegates "we have to go further", but failed to admit we have no hope of meeting our own climate targets. The previous Government committed to a reduction of 51%, but then it made a plan that would at best give rise to a reduction of 23%. On what planet is that in line with what he said at COP? Separately, in a recent discussion with John Collison, the Taoiseach suggested that some climate projects will have to be shelved because they risk polarising society. However, he failed to outline which projects are going to be scrapped. I want to give him an opportunity to clarify those comments and tell us which projects are not going to go ahead. Will it be public transport projects, renewable energy projects or those involving investment in native forestry? What exactly is the Government going to scrap? Climate inaction represents a missed opportunity for Ireland. We are a small country but we could be a world leader in this area. Instead of scrapping projects and missing targets, we could be developing new technologies and championing green industries. We could turbocharge investment in offshore wind and protect our waterways. We could become the gold standard in sustainable agriculture. This Government is failing at all of that. We see a lot of short-termism in politics but this is the area in which it is most irreversible and, therefore, most unforgivable. Failing to take real climate action is a betrayal of future generations who will ultimately end up paying the price. There will be a climate protest this Saturday, starting at 1 p.m. in the Garden of Remembrance. I ask everybody who cares about this issue to come out and make their voices heard because this Government is not listening and we are hurtling towards climate chaos. In advance of the protest, will the Taoiseach tell us how he is going to get to 51%? What climate projects is he going to scrap?

There is so much spin in the Taoiseach's reply that it is difficult to know where to start. We have less offshore wind production than we did 20 years ago. That is the reality. I recognise that the climate Act was good but it is about delivery. The target was 51%. The Government made a plan to reach 23% and even that did not happen. The reality is that the Taoiseach's Government's record is one of abject failure. When the Social Democrats try to point that out, his approach is to misrepresent our position. That is especially true when it comes to the nitrates derogation, for example. The fact is - we all know it - that applying huge amounts of nitrogen to the land is damaging our water quality. That is not my opinion, that is what the Environmental Protection Agency has said time again. That is why it is going to be so difficult to retain the derogation. Pointing that out was sabotage according to one of the Taoiseach's party's MEPs. That is the way they bizarrely put it, when it is actually just a fact.

What is also a fact is that this Government is leading farmers to a cliff edge. If the derogation is not renewed or is further cut, what is the Government going to do?

The Taoiseach did not answer my question about whether we are going to reach the 51%, and how we will get there. Maybe he can answer this question.

What is the plan B for farmers when the derogation is inevitably cut?

Could the Taoiseach answer the question?
