Carbon Fund Bill 2006: Second Stage
5:00 pm
Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)
Yes, because the country would not be using the best available technology and I understand that issue. This is not a personal issue for me, it concerns the other 109 industries, irrespective of where they are located. Buying carbon credits must be a last option.
I support the principle of the Bill, but I am extremely critical of the progress in this area made to date. I will be happy to debate amendments to it on Committee Stage.
