PQ 161
161. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he will outline what consideration has been given to calculating carbon credits for the agricultural sector, in view of the fact that it was previously noted that afforestation and anaerobic digestion are two specific areas that are not related to agricultural emissions in terms of credits and considering that comparing carbon sequestration with carbon emissions is needed to provide a clear picture of progress in meeting climate-related targets; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
