Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Noel O'Donovan (Fine Gael)

I thank the Chair. I will try not to repeat anything Deputy Kenny and Senator Brady said, but I agree with their contributions. I met members of the IFA in west Cork some months ago at an environmental discussion with farmers. For the benefit of the other members of the committee, everything they are saying here today was explained to farmers. Oftentimes, there were tough questions in the room, but I saw in that room in Clonakilty the commitment the IFA has to reducing emissions and to meeting the climate targets. What request is being made of us as Government members or as legislators here today? What can we do to support the IFA and support farmers to reduce emissions further? What is the IFA asking for?
