Ireland's Carbon Emissions (September 2008)

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Eamon Ryan has said that the Government faces real difficulties and real challenges in reducing Ireland's carbon emissions.

 

He was commenting after projections from the Economic and Social Research Institute which suggest that Ireland's greenhouse gas emissions will have increased by nearly 5% in 2007.   Mr Ryan described the projected figures as a real difficulty and a real challenge, but one that the Government is determined to meet by creating jobs in the new eco-tech sector.   However, opposition parties are likely to point out that while the Government promised to reduce emissions by 3% each year, they are projected to go up by 5% - an eight-point gap.
