The contribution made by each sector to Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions is set out in a report on the implementation of the National Climate Change Strategy, Ireland's Pathway to Kyoto Compliance, published by my Department in July 2006. This report is available in the Oireachtas library.

The table sets out the contribution made by each sector and sub-sector, where data is available. This information is for 2004, the latest year for which data is available. Information on the percentage of total emissions from private cars is not available, as emissions are calculated on the basis of fuel sold, rather than vehicle type.
