Question:59 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the current status of the Government's greenhouse gas abatement strategy. [14654/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 37 and 59 together.
Following consideration of the draft strategy and the submission of views by Comhar the National Sustainable Development Partnership, extensive interdepartmental impact through the environmental network of Departments and other developments including the Green Paper on Sustainable Energy published by the Department of Public Enterprise, my Department is completing a final draft of the national greenhouse gas abatement strategy for Government consideration as a matter of urgency. The strategy will be published following approval by Government.
