An independent state agency significantly altered its emissions report, which initially attributed reductions in electricity emissions to increased imports, following influences from Minister Eamon Ryan's advisor.
The revision of the emissions report has raised concerns about the integrity of independent state agencies, especially given that the initial document presented a critique of relying on imported electricity.
Sinn Féin MEP expressed that 'spin won out,' indicating that the agency operated with undue regard to the political motivations of the minister's aide, undermining objective analysis.
The changes in the report underscore the complexities regarding renewable energy narratives, suggesting political interference can shape public understanding of carbon emissions statistics.
