Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

5:00 pm

Mr. Dara Lynott:

The EPA response is that 2050 is the deadline. The 2030 timeline is not in stone yet and although there are proposals, there is a bit to go before that is a regulation. I would imagine there would have to be agility, depending on what the figures say, as we go to 2050, to where the targets need to be for 2030, 2040 or 2050.
