PAC: €86m spent on avoiding environmental targets shows Govt making 'charade' of climate change promise
The Government has been accused of making a "charade" of its climate change promises after it emerged it has spent more than €86m to date in buying itself out of international environmental targets.
The Dáil's public accounts committee outlined the situation after the National Treasury Management Agency confirmed the figures and said another €66.5m may need to be spent to buy Ireland out of renewable energy targets before the end of next year.
