Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-28
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

The Minister of State is probably aware of this but on Friday, 3 March, the climate movement will be back on the streets for the first time in a long time. I am delighted to see Extinction Rebellion and FridaysForFuture taking the climate crisis seriously and marching from Parnell Square at 12 noon to this House. I want to ask the Minister of State to please clarify for me and them the Government’s plans to deal with the recent figures from the EPA that show that Ireland has a very significant increase in CO2 emissions and is the worst performer in the EU in emission reductions, according to EUROSTAT?
