Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said Ireland is seeing the effects of climate change in recent weeks as he addressed world leaders at the Cop27 summit in Egypt. 

Echoing his calls over previous days that the most vulnerable countries should be supported as a matter of priority from the larger economies, Mr Martin said “the burden of climate change globally is falling most heavily on those least responsible for our predicament”.
