Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1022 and 1086 together.
The 18th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change will take place in Doha, Qatar from 26 November to 7 December 2012. I plan to participate in the high-level Ministerial segment. As indicated in the Programme for development of national climate policy and legislation which I announced in January 2012, I intend to issue Heads of a Climate Bill by the end of this year.
