Ireland - Firms face fine threat for failure to lower emissions - by PaulMelia
Local authorities and transport companies that fail to meet targets on lowering their greenhouse gas emissions face being fined under a proposed climate change law. And a Dail committee has said the Taoiseach of the day must take personal responsibility for ensuring that binding targets to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels, such as oil, coal and gas, are met. The Dail Committee on Climate Change and Energy Security yesterday published draft legislation which aims to reduce Ireland's reliance on imported fossil fuels and transform itself into a green economy.
