Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

I will not go through the entire document as Deputy Sargent is reading it but it sets out in a detailed way the comprehensive measures we have put in place to enable us to meet the target set under the Kyoto Protocol. All of the preparatory work in this respect sought to set out how this could be achieved. The national climate change strategy requires co-ordination throughout the Government because without this it will not be possible to meet the commitments made under the Kyoto Protocol. The strategy builds on progress already made through the original national climate change strategy of seven years ago.
