Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Frankly, he lectures everybody, and everybody else is wrong but himself. I want to ask about the areas for which he is responsible and they are not that complicated. The Minister promised that he would publish a revised climate change strategy by the end of 2006. When will the revised climate change strategy be published? Will he tell the House the total tonnage of greenhouse gas emissions at the time the current climate change strategy was published and what it is now, in other words, leaving aside the issue of emissions trading? By how much, if anything, have greenhouse gas emissions in the State been reduced since publication of the climate change strategy?
