Reduction to motorway speed limits among recommendations to reduce carbon emissions

The Government's National Mitigation Plan aimed at reducing pollution will be launched later today.

A reduction in the motorway speed limit is just one of the climate-change measures which will be brought before the Cabinet later today.

As many as 106 actions and measures are outlined in a national mitigation-plan report for Ireland to transition to a low-carbon, environmentally sustainable economy by 2050.
