Ms Marie Donnelly:

When we looked at the 15 scenarios, we saw that they were built on the basis of the balance between energy, agriculture and forestry. We had two different scenarios for the agricultural area, and a number of different scenarios for forestry and energy. In the agricultural scenarios, there are two different levels, S1 and S2. Ms Gallagher may be able to explain this a little bit better than I can. They relate primarily to the roll-out, and the speed of the roll-out, of modernisation of techniques within farming practice in Ireland and the methodology of animal husbandry. They have an impact on the balance of effort that would be done in other sectors. Therefore, we have a targeted methane reduction. It is consistent not only with the IPCC but also with the European level to allow us to achieve both the European targets and indeed our own carbon budget for 2040. I ask Ms Gallagher to give us an overview as to what the S1 and S2 situations are for agriculture.
