Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Renewable Energy Directive: Discussion

4:00 pm

Dr. Eugene Hendrick:

I thank Deputy Fitzmaurice for the question about the carbon credits. They will be used in order that Ireland complies with its targets between 2021 and 2030 on a national level. Basically, they will be used for national compliance if the current proposal relating to the effort-sharing decision and the role forests will play is agreed.
