It follows an assessment from the Environmental Protection Agency
Ireland is set to miss it's greenhouse gas emission targets, by over half.
The latest assessment from the Environmental Protection Agency found that even if extra climate initiatives are implemented, Ireland will only deliver half of the 51% targeted by 2030.
Those targets are legally binding.
EPA projections suggest a greenhouse gas reduction of just 25%, instead of 51%.
Government and opposition have clashed over the country's climate targets.
Labour Leader Ivana Bacik describes some aspects of the coalition's approach to the issue as "laughable" while criticising the fact that the climate action plan for 2026 won't arrive until quarter three of this year.
Meanwhile, Taoiseach Micheal Martin insists the government has made progress when it comes to climate action, arguing that we are seeing the lowest levels of greenhouse gas emissions in 35 years.
