Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Does the Tánaiste accept that the climate change strategy published in 2000, which was designed to secure a 20% reduction, failed? The Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, admitted this. What does the Tánaiste believe are the lessons to be drawn from the fact that the then Government set itself the same EU ambition he is now praising, but in respect of which the Government did not deliver? What implications are we to draw about the implementation of this public policy under the stewardship of the Tánaiste and his colleagues and what changes does he plan to make to ensure the same result does not recur?
