Public Accounts Committee

2018 Annual Report of the Accounts of the Public Services
Chapter 9 - Greenhouse Gas-Related Financial Transactions: Discussion

8:20 pm

Mr. Gerry Brady:

The EPA compiles the national inventory. The land use, land-use change and forestry, LULUCF, sector takes into account whether the grassland is permanent pasture or in rotation. Within our emissions, we can obtain credits for carbon sequestration and how grassland is managed. The EPA and Teagasc do a lot of work in that area.
