Minister Gormley Launches Consultation Paper on Light Bulbs
John Gormley, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, today (10 October 2008) launched a consultation paper on a proposed energy efficiency and performance standard for light bulbs.
The consultation paper outlines details of the proposed standard that will be introduced on a phased basis over a number of years.
The Minister said "An important step in achieving this objective is to remove the most energy inefficient light bulbs from the Irish market as early as possible. With more energy efficient alternatives now widely available, the proposed standard is a sensible and timely measure in terms of reducing both the carbon intensity and cost of general lighting".
