462 Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps he has taken to offset the carbon dioxide emissions caused by ministerial travel in his Department; and if none to date, the plans he will put in place on the matter. [34266/07]
View answerThe impact of carbon dioxide emissions caused by flights involving Ministers of the Department is not accounted for at present by my Department. However, the Department will take whatever steps are necessary to introduce a carbon offsetting scheme for official air travel when such a scheme has been developed and announced by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
