Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Impact of Climate on Public Finances: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Niall Conroy:

I will just come in here on the numbers side of things. In the paper we published, we took estimates compiled by the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. As was said, it would seem to accumulate to approximately €3.5 billion by 2030, but the annual costs seem to be €700 million per year towards the end of that.
