Fógra i dtaobh leasú ar Thairiscint: Notice of Amendment to Motion

71. “That Dáil Éireann noting that:

— Ireland failed to meet its responsibilities under the Kyoto protocol and its greenhouse gas emissions are twice the overall target;

— Ireland is ranked 22 out of 27 EU countries when it comes to wind, wave and biomass energy generation despite having the best potential energy generation in these sectors; and

— only 3% of Ireland’s primary energy supply comes from renewables; conscious of the potential for the State to make a big difference by adjusting its own procurement policies, calls on the Government:

— to set a target for a reduction in CO2 emission from each Government Department and State Agency;

— to lead by example on environmental issues through a policy of green procurement;

— to begin the conversion of all public buildings to green energy;

— to begin the conversion of all public service vehicles to bio-fuels in order to reduce the State's carbon footprint; and

— to introduce a new system of annual open and transparent reporting which will ensure that every Government Agency is held to account every year on its progress.” — Fergus O'Dowd, Bernard Durkan, , Olivia Mitchell, , , Bernard Allen, Pat Breen, Paul Connaughton, , Seymour Crawford, John Deasy, Jimmy Deenihan, , Olwyn Enright, Tom Hayes, , , Padraic McCormack, Shane McEntee, Dinny McGinley, Paul McGrath, , Gerard Murphy, , Michael Noonan, Jim O'Keeffe, John Perry, , , Billy Timmins, Liam Twomey.
