Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I want a simple answer to my next questions. Does the Minister believe we will be able to meet our European target of reducing emissions to 20% below 1990 levels by 2020 and how does he equate this with the State's predictions that our emissions will be 45% greater by 2020? I cannot believe there is still a Minister who is of the view that there is a choice between the economic and environmental balances.
