We had a very helpful and informative session at the Committee on Environment and Climate Action, which is what prompted me to ask a number of these questions. The issue of the quality and quantity of climate finance was raised and, as the Minister said, Ireland was commended on the quality, but it was said the quantity is a different story. I will be happy to send those figures from Christian Aid and Trócaire to the Minister.

Regarding Ireland's requirement to submit its long-term strategy to the European Commission, has this been done with regard to setting out a plan to 2050? What about the commitment to a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty? Will the Minister try to advance this at COP27?
