Low carbon transportation is important and one of the major sectors relevant to reducing our carbon emissions is the transport sector. Investing in low carbon transportation through the Infrastructure,Climate and Nature Fund will help to reduce overall emissions. That is one of our clear priorities.

Some €500 million is also going to the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment to fund projects that relate to climate mitigation and renewable energy development and €650 million to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for projects that will support improvements to water quality. We have split the €3.15 billion in three, with €2 billion going to transport, €500 million to the Department of climate and €650 million going to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
