Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Government has failed to reduce emissions, which constitutes the major problem.

The two areas that must be examined with regard to the reduction of carbon emissions are the two areas which have generated the biggest increase in emissions, the energy and transport sectors. There is no point talking about industry because industry is doing its bit. In the transport sector, the Government has failed miserably to deliver public transport.
