Ireland is represented at the COP27 climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh by a national delegation led by the Minister for Environment, Climate, and Communications, Mr. Eamon Ryan T.D. and comprised of officials from six Government Departments.

Two officials from the Department of Finance attended, and no officials from any of the State bodies under the aegis of my Department travelled.

The costs incurred from participation in COP27 are not yet known.
