Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Carbon Budgets: Discussion
Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I did not get the answer, Chairman, to one question. I am glad that the regulations do not include the full counting but I wanted to ask because it would mean that we were not compatible with the 51% in 2030 in the legislation if emissions are sequestered from after 2030, was this potentially being modelled or calculated in the carbon budgets tonnage. Again, it sounds like that is perhaps not happening but I would like a written assurance on that because that fundamentally affects whether we are consistent with the law.
