Environmental Policy
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-08
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

The Minister might clarify the point about new licences. It was reported that a licence was issued or extended last week. I ask him to pick up on the concern about the potential of the Energy Charter Treaty and the comeback that energy companies might have.
The question I wanted to raise, however, is about climate finance and the commitment to €225 million per annum from 2025. What is the commitment for 2022? We heard at a meeting of the Committee on Environment and Climate Action that the best estimate for Ireland's fair share, as opposed to the target that is there, is between €475 million and €545 million per year. Does the Minister agree with that figure?
