Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

5:00 pm

Mr. Dara Lynott:

The "with additional measures" assumes full implementation. That is what the red line refers to. We know we are currently not on target. We have 50,000 electric cars that need to be on the roads and we are approximately 50% there in terms of RES-H and RES-T targets and the amount of renewable fuels on those. Going back to my response to other speakers, the mitigation plan will see sectoral plans being put forward with very realistic costings and what they expect. I forgot to mention the critique by the climate council and others, and co-ordination by the Department will see a better discussion than is currently available.
