Can the targets be hit?  https://www.businesspost.ie/climate-environment/hard-targets-how-the-carbon-budgets-break-down-and-their-chances-of-succeeding-7d6429aa

As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)
