Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (4 Oct 2018)

Eamon Ryan: At some point before the European Commission comes in, we will have to have an answer to the questions on who is doing what and how much it will reduce our emissions.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Vehicle Emissions (10 Oct 2018)

Eamon Ryan: At last week's meeting of the Joint Committee on Climate Action, it was disappointing to hear the Secretary General of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport say that we are technology takers, in effect, as our transport system makes the transition to a low-carbon system. We have to hope, or push, for higher electric vehicle standards. I know the Minister is doing that in Europe....

Eamon Ryan: We had asked earlier whether we could get a copy of the first report from that forum. I believe the Department has made a single report to date.
