Taoiseach to make plea for 'comprehensive' climate change deal in Paris talks

Taoiseach Enda Kenny is expected to pledge his support for an “ambitious and comprehensive” deal on climate change when he joins world leaders in Paris later today.

Delivering Ireland’s national statement to the United Nations’ convention, Mr Kenny will also urge agreement on limiting the rise in global temperatures and appeal for countries to make the transition to a low carbon, climate-resilient future.
