Paul Murphy: I thank everybody who has participated in the debate. I have sat through many debates like this in the Dáil and heard the Minister of State's responses in the past.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of the Climate Action Plan: Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (19 Sep 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of the Climate Action Plan: Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (19 Sep 2024)

Paul Murphy: With regard to the 6.8% reductions, what percentage of that is down to the recalculations of historical greenhouse gas inventories?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of the Climate Action Plan: Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (19 Sep 2024)

Paul Murphy: I will come back to that point. To clarify, the Minister is saying the recalculations had a negative effect. Without those recalculations, and with the current policies being implemented, our greenhouse gases emissions would have fallen by more than the figure of 6.5% or 6.8% that is contained in the report.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Review of the Climate Action Plan: Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (19 Sep 2024)
