Amharc ar fhreagraI attended the COP27 Climate Change Conference from the 12th of November. I was not accompanied by officials from the Department of Transport.
The conference closed on the 18th of November. Final details of the costs involved are not yet available and I understand that my officials in the Department of Environment, Climate & Communications will provide these to Deputy Nolan at a later date.
The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of the Department is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
