I can inform the Deputy that my Department has not incurred any expenditure in respect of carbon offsetting. I understand that, on foot of a commitment in the Programme for Government on carbon offsetting official air travel, the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government is developing a scheme for use by all Government Departments and bodies under their aegis and that he hopes to announce details of this scheme shortly.
