I thank the Minister for his reply. I am sure the Minister read the article in the farming section of today's Irish Independent. An Taisce claims that with a 20% target for reduction in emissions from 2005 to 2020, only 2% has been achieved so far, meaning that 18% is still outstanding. It quotes the Minister, as saying there will be a bigger burden on other sectors in order to meet that reduction target. I ask the Minister to enlighten us in that regard.
