In December 2023, Ireland published its draft updated NECP, months late and without complying with public participation requirements. This briefing paper sets out why the NECP revision process is so important, why the approach adopted by Ireland has been so problematic to date and what must be done to course-correct at this critical juncture for Ireland’s planning for net-zero.
