Ms Niamh Garvey:

Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan mentioned identifying the building blocks. We see climate change as one of those building blocks. On the Minister's input at the high-level political forum reporting on the voluntary national review, Ireland's report acknowledged areas where progress is being made. Two areas the Minister highlighted in which Ireland is not making progress are housing and homelessness and climate action. They were the two big issues that the Minister identified as major challenges for Ireland. I reiterate my colleague's points.

I was inspired by President Higgins's comments at the conference hosted by our colleagues in Concern a number of weeks ago on the arms issue. The last major campaign I remember in terms of the NGOs was on the cluster munitions ban. As Ms Keatinge mentioned, Ireland has shown leadership on that issue before. It is something we can take away in our planning.
