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.
