Ceist:102 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment in view of the fact that Ireland has signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 1992, and that the European Union is committed to stabilising the Union's carbon dioxide emissions at 1990 levels by the year 2000, the reason for the increase in Ireland's emission of CO2 and the reason for not meeting targets as set out in the policy document from the Department of the Environment entitled Ireland Climate Change-CO2 Abatement Strategy June 1993, in particular in view of the ESB not managing the demand growth in electricity to the target 3 per cent per year.
