Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said that the targets in the Climate Action Plan are ambitious, but he is examining whether the plan's implementation would benefit from more oversight. Picture: Maxwells

The Government has yet to agree the Climate Action Plan which will set out how the legally binding carbon budgets and agreed sectoral emissions ceilings will be achieved.

The plan is to be published on Wednesday, and sources said that while there is still some "fine-tuning" of the document there is "no major impasse" to be cleared.
