Ireland's response to the Ad-Hoc Working Group will be coordinated with other EU Member States for a single submission by the European Union by 23 February 2007. On the issue of public consultation, I have already received submissions on future mitigation potential for Ireland through the recent public consultation on Ireland's Pathway to Kyoto Compliance.
