Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Sectoral Emissions Ceilings: Discussion

Ms Karen Egan:

There has been a great deal of engagement at three different levels. There has been consultation and engagement at official level and there have been meetings at Secretary General level, but there is also the ministerial level of engagement, which is ongoing at the moment. These matters are still being considered at a political level. I cannot share much of the detail in advance of a Government decision but a great deal of analysis has taken place while we have worked on the sectoral emissions targets and there will be considerable engagement over the summer on the development of the next climate action plan, wherein many of the measures and actions will be defined. Does that answer the Deputy's question?
