436. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources his response is to the recent adjudication by UNECE, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, which found that the Irish NREAP, national renewable energy action plan, is in breach of international legal obligations; and that the EU has failed in its obligation to ensure the Irish NREAP complied with its legal obligations under the Aarhus Convention; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ireland submitted its National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP), as required under Article 4 of Directive 2009/28/EC on renewable energy, to the European Commission in July 2010. This Plan sets out how Ireland will meet the national targets established under that Directive for the share of energy from renewable sources.

There have been no findings against Ireland by the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee.
