Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
General Scheme of the Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2019: Discussion
Catherine Murphy (Kildare North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source
I have a final question about climate obligations. I presume that the commercial entity factors in any such obligation given that transport is one of the contributors of greenhouse gas emissions, or is there an obligation? I understand from my work on the Committee of Public Accounts that we have a larger element to our transport requirements because a fairly large number of aircraft organisations are domiciled here.
An obligation comes with their locating here. Do either of these entities have an obligation to contribute to the purchasing of credits or anything of that nature? How is that affected?
