Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion (Resumed)

12:50 pm

Ms Ciara Kirrane:

I take Deputy Humphreys' point that we have to act with caution but that is where other issues come in about revision in terms of whether we need to address the targets that we set. I imagine that it would be highly unlikely that we will not have very high and significant emissions targets such as 80% to 95% and that is what we would need to write in. By putting it into our legislation we would be acting in our own interests in trying to give ourselves the mechanism that we need to develop policy and plans to meet that.
