Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Carroll:
The recommendations on the difficulties of tracking apply across the entirety of Government expenditure. I reiterate that we are moving towards making that more transparent through initiatives such as the table that was published in the Revised Estimate and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform being part of the OECD initiative on green budgeting. That is a move to greater and greater transparency over time. Just in the way our Vote is structured, it is easy to see what is being spent on dealing with climate change.
