A senior Fine Gael TD has launched an attack on Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, suggesting that SUVs be banned in the environment minister's constituency of Dublin Bay South.

It came after the Irish Examiner reported that senior Government sources warned that a reduction in the number of cars on the country's roads, including the second family car, could be among the more radical measures that would be considered if higher emissions targets for agriculture are not met.
