Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan is going to make a 12,000 kilometre round-trip, next week, from Dubai to Ireland, all for a confidence vote in the Dáil.
‘Considering the importance of Ireland being represented at COP28, I have offered a pair to Minister Eamon Ryan for the no confidence motion. This won’t change outcome of the motion as our votes will simply cancel each other out, but will allow for continuity at climate talks.’. While government figures stress they are confident of winning the vote, the desire for a comfortable margin would have seen Minister Ryan trekking back and forth from the UAE on long-haul return flights.

Speaking to reporters in Dubai, he remarked, “the Dáil comes first.
