This morning.

Glasgow, Scotland.

Earlier: Unrepeatable

Meanwhile…

No mention on @TodaywithClaire of @EamonRyan's double bluff on the PCR test to let him travel to Glasgoy, rather than follow the rules and isolate for 10 days.
Party on!

This afternoon.

Glasgow, Scotland.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin is currently addressing the COP26 summit on Climate Change.

He said:

“We have enacted legislation to put a legally binding target of reducing our emissions by 2030 to 51% below 2018 levels. We will reach climate neutrality by 2050.

“We are working closely with our EU partners in the green transition that will make Europe the first climate-neutral continent.

“We are implementing a statutory system of carbon budgeting and emissions ceilings for each sector of the economy.”

More as we get it.
