Eamon Ryan: That is dishonest nonsense.
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions. (21 Feb 2007)
Eamon Ryan: The Minister is not following a transport policy that will lead to a reduction in emissions. Instead, the State agency Sustainable Energy Ireland has set out detailed research on what is happening and where we are going. It predicts that by 2020 transport emissions will have increased by 46% on top of the 156% increase in the past 15 years. The Minister's record is one of utter failure in...

I cannot believe there is still a Minister who is of the view that there is a choice between the economic and...
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions. (21 Feb 2007)
Eamon Ryan: The economy is a subset of the environment, not vice versa. If we do not have a planet, there will be no economy. That is the scale of the challenge in the climate change issue. Even if one considers economics alone, the Minister's solution of significant growth in transport emissions will cost the Irish people considerably more because the rest of the world's population will not look on...
