Mr Brendan Gleeson:

First, it looks like the overall size of the national herd is stabilising. We have identified a toolbox which will allow us to get emissions down. There is a long list of obligations on the Department in the climate action plan. This is a big ship to turn around and I am not confident enough to tell Deputy Cullinane that I expect emissions to go down next year. What I can say is that we are required to engage in action quickly that will turn that ship around.
