Implementation of National Mitigation Plan: Discussion
3:00 pm
Dr. Eimear Cotter:
It is a question of timing. It is a bit of a boring answer in that we produce our projections in a certain point in time. We can take into account policies and measures developed to a certain extent. Where something is newer or at a pilot phase, the impact of that is more difficult to work into the numbers and analysis. As policies and measures we have heard about, such as the warmth and well-being scheme, become more developed and embedded we can work the impact of those into the projections. It is a technical answer to the issue.
