Mr. John McCarthy:

We project that the contribution will be €2.8 billion next year. On climate change and the brief I discussed with the Deputy, as a rich country we have an obligation to help the poorest countries in the world as these will be most affected by climate change. There are costs associated with that. That may account for some of the discrepancy with regard to the number I mentioned earlier. I do not have the previous brief in front of me. In addition to having a role on the tax side, the Department has a big role in financing climate action.
