Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (9 Nov 2017) Seán Fleming: My principal criticism is that the Department has no way of knowing whether it is in compliance with the Act.

I am not asking Mr. Griffin...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (9 Nov 2017) Seán Fleming: Also noted is the energy efficiency national fund. There is €32 million in that account and all that seemed to happen in 2015 is that it lost €2 million on its investment but there was no activity. There is also the carbon levy revenue fund.
