Question 136: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will make a statement on the European Commission campaign to limit climate change. [22562/06]

I fully support the initiative by the European Commission. The central message of the Commission's You Control Climate Change campaign is that individuals can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through small changes in their daily behaviour. In many cases, such changes can be cost-effective for individuals. The Government is actively supporting individuals to make these changes, inter alia, through the provision of grants for the installation of renewable energy heating technologies in domestic dwellings and through the provision of information and advice through Sustainable Energy Ireland.
