Climate Change Policy
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-22
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

Electricity emissions reductions are significantly contributed to by imported electricity. That fact should not be lost.
There are carbon budgets and sectoral emission ceilings out to 2030 but there is no plan to deliver emissions reductions to meet those targets. In fact, including the 5.25 megatonnes unallocated on an annual basis with all of the measures proposed by the Government would take us to only 42% reduction.
When will the issue of the unallocated emissions reductions be sorted? When will a plan be prepared to meet the 51% target?
