Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Accounts of the Public Services
Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Brian Carroll:

As I said, work is under way, I think, across all Departments to try to identify clearly climate and environmental expenditure. I mentioned the table that was published for the first time in the Revised Estimates of this year and that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is involved in the OECD's green budgeting. As for our Department, it is much easier to see. We have renewable energy subheads and energy efficiency subheads, so it is easy to identify climate expenditure in our Vote. It might not be as easy to identify it but I cannot comment on what is-----
