The Taoiseach cannot argue with the figures. The emissions are going up, not down, and they have increased by 6% in the past year. The strategy is not working. The Government needs to do an awful lot more. Just today, the EPA said a step up, both in the implementation of actions already set out in plans and policies and in the identification of new measures, is needed.

What are those new measures? Will the Taoiseach tell us what they are?

He has been promising sectoral plans for a long time now. When exactly will we see them?
