Climate Change Policy
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-25
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

The Dáil passed a motion before Christmas endorsing the development of a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty and calling on Ireland to join the block of states seeking a negotiating mandate. The Minister has said previously that he is in favour of a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty but what is he doing about it? Is he advocating within Government that Ireland become a lead state promoting the idea of this treaty and does he think it likely that the Government will do this before the next general election? I think the outcome of COP underlines the need to develop such a parallel process.
