COP27: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-29
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

If I can I conclude, to all those who said we needed to get a better deal on mitigation, yes, we held the line so that it did not retreat from Glasgow but we did not advance. There is increasingly clear understanding, however, that this is the direction we are going. I agree that this is about delivery. Well, we have delivered in government in the past few weeks. We have delivered a completely new forestry programme that will be good for rural Ireland, good for the countryside as well as good for climate. On Monday, we delivered the first of the new deposit return schemes so there is less plastic and less recycling. We delivered, this morning, as Deputy Ó Laoghaire said, with DART carriages for Cork.
