Ireland has been involved in previous loss and damage operations and will do the same again this time. We are considered to be a high-ambition country and one that puts social justice at the core of what it pushes for. There will be grants. We will be pushing for that angle. We will also try to ensure that the countries that need the money get it. We have to recognise that in order to achieve decarbonisation, we need a fundamental transformation of our economies. This will require participation not only from governments but also from the private sector where that is available. We are not going to lock that out. This is going to take action from all sides. We have a good track record in this area. We would be considered one of the better performing countries. We will continue in that vein in the future.
