Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
3:00 pm
Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)
First, will the Minister give us some indication of what the reduction in CO2 emissions will be in regard to policies he has introduced since he became Minister such as the light bulb, motor tax and building regulations initiatives? What does he expect those particular measures will mean in terms of reductions in CO2 emissions? Second, if there are various reasons he cannot meet his target, will the Minister consider introducing punitive measures in various ways to force Departments other than his own to help meet the 3% target?
