Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
421. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if each of the agencies under his aegis and the publicly funded agencies of the ESRI and the IPA have included transport and travel in their annual reports to the SEAI in relation to public sector energy efficiency performance in relation to their 2020 energy targets; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30585/21]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that, with the exception of the Office of Public Works (OPW), none of the bodies in question report on transport or travel in their annual reports to the SEAI. These bodies are not required to do so by the SEAI due to a lack of a fleet of vehicles for transport purposes and no requirement for business travel.
The relevant information in respect of the OPW is set out in the table below.

How Public Sector energy efficiency transport performance is addressed in the 2020 Annual Report to the SEAI |
How Public Sector energy efficiency travel performance is addressed in the 2020 Annual Report to the SEAI |
|
|
Office of Public Works (OPW) |
The OPW reports annually to the SEAI on recorded fuel consumption for all fleet vehicles. |
Energy performance for OPW staff business travel is not currently included as part of the annual Monitoring and Reporting return to SEAI. This will be reported going forward due to the requirement from this year for Public Sector Organisations to make returns under travel performance as part of the annual return. |
