PQ 287
287. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment if the need to purchase carbon credits during the 2013–2020 period, as referenced in the Carbon Fund 2024 Annual Report, demonstrates the failure of Government policies to support practical and achievable emission reductions, particularly given the disproportionate and unrealistic targets imposed on the agriculture sector; if he will outline the total cost of such credit purchases relative to direct domestic climate measures in the same period; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
