Amendments to the Climate Bill agreed by the Government.
Leasuithe ar an mBille Aeráide aontaithe ag an Rialtas.
The Government has approved amendments to the Climate Action Bill.
Tá leasuithe ar an mBille um Ghníomhú ar son na hAeráide ceadaithe ag an Rialtas.
The reforms include definite targets for reducing carbon emissions.
Tá spriocanna cinnte maidir le hastaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú i measc na leasuithe.
This was one of the key objectives of the Green Party as they entered Government.
Bhí sé seo ar cheann de phríomhchuspóirí an Chomhaontais Ghlais agus iad ag dul isteach sa Rialtas.
It is understood the bill aims to make this country carbon neutral by 2050 at the latest.
Tuigtear go bhfuil sé mar aidhm ag an mbille an tír seo a bheith neodrach ó thaobh carbóin de faoin mbliain 2050 ar a dheireanaí.
This is a more ambitious target than before and special five-year budgets will be set for its completion.
Seo sprioc níos uaillmhianaí ná a bhí ann cheana agus leagfar buiséid speisialta chúig bliana amach lena cur i gcrích.
The first two budgets will aim to reduce carbon emissions by 51% from 2018 emissions.
Beidh sé mar aidhm ag an gcéad dá bhuiséad astaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú 51 faoin gcéad ón méid a astaíodh sa bhliain 2018.
All five-year budgets must comply with the provisions of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Ní mór do gach ceann do na buiséid chúig bliana teacht le forálacha Chomhaontú Aeráide Pháras.
It is not known exactly how the various policies will affect the lives of the people of the country until the legislation is published.
Ní bheidh a fhios cén chaoi go baileach a rachaidh na beartais éagsúla i bhfeidhm ar shaol mhuintir na tíre go dtí go bhfoilseofar an reachtaíocht.
