I have looked through the SEAI's report. I want to drill down into one of the figures that is really jumping out at me concerning the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. I have looked at the data, and I perhaps I am reading this incorrectly, but the report states that the Department's fossil CO2 emissions have increased by nearly 450% since the baseline, and that the total CO2 emissions have increased by 235%. Is that just with regard to its office block or is it the wider Department? That seems like an incredible increase for any Department.
