Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

Last week, the Economic and Social Research Institute, ESRI, showed that spending in Ireland is generating 75% more emissions than the conventional measure. I want to ask the Minister about his green procurement strategy. The only data I have seen are a couple of years old and show that Ireland is well behind other European countries. I would be interested to know whether the Minister can move to implement green principles in 100% of procurement, as has been done in Holland. There are huge opportunities to cut down on emissions across buildings, canteens and transport.
