On foot of the commitment in the Programme for Government on carbon offsetting official air travel, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government is developing a scheme for use by all Government Departments and bodies under their aegis. As soon as the scheme is in place I intend to operate it in respect of Ministerial travel in my Department.
