Green Public Procurement: Given the scale of the Government's annual procurement budget, the State has the ability to significantly shape the environmental performance of activity in the Irish economy. Fine Gael will work to ensure that the Green Procurement Guidelines are applied across the public sector and we will amend those guidelines, if necessary, to ensure their implementation. This action complements our commitment to drive energy efficiencies in all state buildings such as schools and departments.
