Mr. David Owens:

There are seven of us now and, hopefully, there will soon be eight. I joined the Department about two and a half years ago. I came from the then Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the unit was partially in place then. We try to embed and mainstream climate policy into the various strands, whether that be financial services, taxation, the general budget, the overall fiscal stance and so on. That is where our work on the green budgeting is done. That is published as part of the budget documentation. We negotiate in the member state expert group on the taxonomy. We worked on the EU green bond standard. We also look at all of the various climate action plan measures that touch in some way on the Department of Finance and we have to consult with other Departments where they touch something else.
