Question 19: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the steps he is taking in response to the finding in the state of the environment report published by the Environmental Protection Agency in October 2008, that under the most favourable scenario Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions will exceed the proposed reduction target for 2020 by seven million tonnes, that biodegradable municipal waste diversion targets will be missed by 800,000 tonnes and that emissions of nitrogen oxides are to remain high; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
