Question:133 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment the progress the Government is making in following the example set by Germany and Denmark in setting a target of a 20 per cent reduction for carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2005, in the light of the latest evidence on the projected increase in climate change and the ESRI report which recommends a shift from tax on labour to tax on energy in order to leave Ireland's economy competitive even if the shift is unilateral.
