Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We will reduce our emissions by 11 million tonnes per annum through measures already in place and I have stated that this includes 3 million tonnes from power plants and large industry, and that this is not enough. Our economy has grown by 150% while our emissions grew by 23 %, but it is not enough. We have examined a range of measures and we will study the Stern report. As the full report is not out yet, nobody has read it.
