684 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will publish the figure for 1998 in relation to CO2 emissions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28300/98]
690 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will report on the progress of the plan of action to be drawn up in relation to meeting Ireland's CO2 emissions quota in 1999 and future years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28302/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 684 and 690 together.
Following the publication of the consultancy study on the "Limitation and Reduction of CO2 and other Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Ireland" and the subsequent discussion forum which was held on 28 October 1998, work on the development of a national greenhouse gas abatement strategy is now proceeding as a matter of priority.
