Mr. Joseph Curtin:

That is the idea. Let us say the United States has 20 tonnes per capita, while India has two or three. Ultimately, we are saying everybody will converge on 2.6 tonnes per capita by 2050. This is an example of how one could look at determining a target for Ireland. Because Ireland's population will increase very quickly, our target could be lower. We could have a little more room to manoeuvre than Germany the population of which has evened off and is in decline. Another way to do it is to look at the European Union which is committed to an emissions reduction of 80% to 95%. If we were to do this in a cost-effective way according to the economic modelling, about which I have various reservations, one would say Ireland would also have a slightly more generous target because it was expensive to reduce emissions in agriculture, as we know.
