Environmentalists are to stage a protest in Dublin today against what they say is the Government's inaction on climate change.
Stop Climate Chaos, which is organising today's event, has accused the Government's of having an appalling record on pollution.
The group says €290m in tax payers' money has already been put aside to cover greenhouse gas emissions.
"This figure could easily double before the end of the Kyoto period in 2012," Spokesperson Ciara Gaynor said, "And the money is coming from PAYE tax payments, so it's a stealth tax; there is no incentive for anyone to cut their pollution."
