Caroline O'Doherty: Costs of climate failure fines would put solar panels on every home and farm in Ireland
Briefly

The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council warned that failing to meet climate targets could result in fines of up to €20 billion, significantly higher than previously estimated.
This alarming forecast shocked many observers familiar with public finances, given that the prior estimate for fines was only €9.6 billion.
The new estimate reflects not just financial penalties but also the increasing importance of climate commitments in policy-making.
The potential €20 billion fines underscore the urgent need for effective strategies to meet established climate targets and avoid hefty financial repercussions.
