However, the drop is less than the European average of between 11% and 12%.
It has welcomed the fall but warns there are some sectors such as dairy processing and PharmaChem where emissions rose. In industry, overall carbon pollution fell by 3.5% and cement industries reported a drop of 5.7%. But emissions from the PharmaChem industry rose by 10.9% and those from the dairy processing sector by 4%.
Hang on so Ireland counts emissions from Irish registered aircraft anywhere in Europe as emissions in Ireland. So that means for example over half of Alitalias fleet which is Irish registered would count as emissions in Ireland. How stupid is that?
colmanos coal burning at Moneypoint actually saw an increase of 27%
How did our emissions compare to the European average beforehand - tonnes per head of population? Would guess they were lower. Can we get ALL the figures in ANYTHING these days

You mean carbon dioxide pollution....Pure carbon is not being released....Having no effect on rising atmospheric levels of CO2....
