In the closing hours of those negotiations there were a number of things we stood up for and delivered. The most important, to my mind, was a change in the text, which, in the middle of the Friday night, took out the wording about protecting the most vulnerable. It was Irish civil servants and our negotiating team that put that back into the centre of the negotiations, recognising that the existing tranche of climate finance does not go to the poorest, by and large. The vast majority goes elsewhere. We stood up because we as a country have always stood up for the poorest countries in this world.
