Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I assume the Taoiseach will attend that meeting. If there is a summit meeting of the European People's Party of which I am a member, I will be happy to attend and to lend my voice to that.

Did the Taoiseach confirm that a conclusion was reached at the Council meeting about the transfer of €100 billion in respect of the climate change challenge between now and 2020? Is he hopeful some kind of conclusion can be reached in Copenhagen? From the meetings of the Heads of Government who are part of the European People's Party, there seems to be serious concern that there may not be the drive to sign up to it, in particular in regard to the United States, China and India, and that it may not be possible to reach a conclusion or an agreement in Copenhagen. Does the Taoiseach have a view on that? Was any decision arrived at by the Heads of Government at the meeting in Brussels?
