PQ 288
288. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the lessons that have been learned from the operation and wind-down of the Carbon Fund, particularly around the potential wastefulness of relying on international carbon offsets instead of practical, cost-effective measures at home that support farming families; if he will confirm that no further purchases of carbon credits or equivalent mechanisms are planned or budgeted for the current Effort Sharing Regulation period given the severe cost-of-living and farming pressures already being experienced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
