The European Parliament has backed Sean Kelly’s demand to make our homes hugely greener. The EU has ambitious climate targets which the Fine Gael MEP warns will be missed unless the emissions from housing are drastically cut. MEPs voted in favour of his report today in Strasbourg. Sean Kelly says year-on-year targets are needed, but once European governments – including Ireland – go for it, progress can move fast.
