Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed)

I thank all our guests for what has been an incredible session. We have an emissions target that is quite ambitious and it will not be easy to achieve. Renewable energy is going to play an important part in that. At the same time, we also have an incredible coastline and unbelievable ocean and marine ecosystem. That has been clear, listening to what our guests have said. We need to protect and enhance our coastline and ecosystem and we must ensure that will inform part of the direction in which Ireland is going in terms of our economy, tourism and reaching our emissions targets. The discussions we have had today have helped us, as policymakers, in terms of how we form those decisions. I thank our guests for attending; we appreciate it.
