Mr. Derek Moran:

Mr. McCarthy has said all that he has to say about the economics of climate change. All that I can say is that our direct policy inputs in respect of climate change mitigation involve the kind of things I already mentioned. I was heavily involved with the vehicle taxation change from cubic centimetres to carbon. We are now moving towards addressing nitrous oxide and other such pollutants.
