Public Accounts Committee

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

7:50 pm

Mr. Gerry Brady:

We did a household survey on environmental behaviours and found that a family was the most environmentally friendly household. Their attitude may have been influenced by children in school who are exposed to the green school programme. We also asked people what most influenced them if they were buying a car and it was the fuel cost. Only a small proportion identified the environment as their main priority when they were selecting a car.
