Ireland faces an extremely difficult challenge in meeting legally binding targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions after they fell by just 1.9% year-on-year in 2022, the country's environmental watchdog said on Friday.

Provisional figures showed that 47% of the carbon budget for the five-year period to 2025 was used up in 2021 and 2022.
