Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-26
============================================================

Brendan Smith (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

Some time ago I asked questions with regard to carbon sequestration and the national inventory. I was glad at that time to be told that Teagasc was carrying out research on the hedgerows to see how these could contribute to the carbon stock in agricultural landscapes. I also understood that by adding trees to the hedgerow, it would be possible to increase the output storage of carbon in the hedgerow. Where have those particular research projects gone and has our national inventory been finalised as yet?
