We do. We have carbon emissions that are among the highest in the world per capita, and the rate is rising at speed across all sectors. Nothing in our public capital planning framework is doing anything to address it. The council has mentioned this issue in the past. Has it done any further work on how we price carbon? The Minister for Finance effectively asked for help when I asked my question. He said he guessed €7 per tonne was wrong because the ETS is not working and asked for advice. Has the council done any work with the Department of Finance on pricing carbon?
