Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Summer Economic Statement: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Killian Carroll:

The Environmental Protection Agency recently produced estimates on the projections for emissions out to 2030. Its analysis included all the measures that were in the climate action plan in November. If all those measures are implemented, agriculture will reach that 22% reduction, but that is not the case for other sectors. Other sectors would have to do more than what is in the climate action plan. As regards the employment effects of that, I have not seen any such modelling to date.
