‘We can’t even cry any more, it is too much’: Cancer, lightning, bereavement and scam leave mother of three bereftFive takeaways from RTÉ's European election debate in Midlands-North-West Some additional measures, which have yet to be factored into verifiable emissions reductions, include a national biomethane strategy and legislation to allow the roll-out of district heating schemes, which will go before Government shortly. Dublin City Council is also about to sign a contract with a partner for the latter, which will be concentrated in Dublin’s docklands initially, and take excess heat from the Covanta waste to energy incinerator in Ringsend and pipe it to nearby housing.
With updated emissions projections due from the EPA in coming weeks, their most recent inventory figures show that Ireland’s emissions fell by just under 2 per cent between 2021 and 2022 — with reductions across the agriculture, industry, energy and residential sectors — at a time when the economy and population were increasing.
