Enda Kenny to meet world leaders at climate conference in Paris

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will meet national leaders from across the globe under tight security in Paris today as part of a major climate change conference that is being seen as a “gesture of solidarity” with France.

The Fine Gael leader will be flanked by Labour’s deputy leader and Environment Minister Alan Kelly and Communications Minister Alex White.

He will attend the city, which was attacked by Islamic State a fortnight ago, as part of the worldwide UN climate change talks this morning.
