PARTING SHOT
“This COP cannot save the world, and there will be a COP27.”
That’s what our reporter Orla Dwyer was told by a long-time COP attendee at the hotly-anticipated climate conference in Glasgow.
Now that world leaders have been and gone, the real work is just starting, she writes in The Journal‘s daily newsletter of the event (sign up here).
Conor O’Neill, Christian Aid Ireland’s policy and advocacy advisor, told Orla this afternoon that the level of commitment to the $100 billion fund for developing countries will be an “acid test for the sincerity” of richer countries.
Many won’t hold their breath on that. You can follow Orla’s tweets here, or sign up for that newsletter we mentioned…
📢 Our daily newsletter from #COP26 in Glasgow, written by @orladwyer_ , will be sent out to subscribers in the next hour. Here's a sneak preview of what will be in it, featuring @shine_tara

Verrimus. Ex British Spooks. 100% Honest and reliable so…….
Ireland moving on a progressive modern country? Your comment and Enda not suggesting so …
Why are people going out of their way to make Verrimus look bad? They never implicated anyone.. not did they trigger the suspicions of GSOC.
It’s quite interesting the number of people who have commented on Verrimus in the recent days. One would almost be tempted to call it astroturfing. The issue really really shouldn’t be about the findings of that company.. they can not and have not been shown to be false or misleading.
People have lost sight of the main issue altogether.. GSOC believed that a breach had taken place because some Gardai knew about stuff they shouldn’t have known about. Did Cooke address this at all? =/
Is there someone in GSOC leaking info, are the media somehow implicit? The entire report just addresses presuppositions that people had made, without actually getting to the bottom of anything, and it raises more questions than it answers.
Verrimus are experienced professionals in this field. If you read the Cooke report you will see that they performed their duties properly and co-operated fully with Cooke. I’m a techie and I could tell that these guys really know what they are talking about. In my opinion, anyone who is trying to discredit them, or their findings must have a vested interest. If you read the full report and you think that there was no surveillance, then you are an idiot.
The Cooke report is a very well orchastrated attempt to deliver facts which cannot be argued whilst ignoring a huge amount of unadressed issues.
I’ve read a lot of things from a lot of sources and the more I read, the more the Cooke report seems like a wishy washy but cleverly written document.
It’s basically the “Nothing to see here, move along” report.
So they people paid to look into this said it was never in their remit, the people who were been bugged said they weren’t been bugged and the people doing the bugging said they didn’t , I am glad that’s all cleared up then, all this from a judge, sounds about right
LM Group’s daily rant…like clockwork!
Mark, I presume you are a guard, I only deal with facts, something the guards no nothing about,
what fact??
Is that you Boylan , how’s the new truck going
I’m not really sure who’s patronising who here…
This is so typical. The deniers out in full force. It’s a cover up. It’s a conspiracy. It’s a …. whatever you’re having yourself. Risible. Move along there lads. You’re embarrassing yourselves – again.
Thats right John because past and present governments have an umblemished record when it comes to uncovering the truth on their own misgivings don’t they?
have your say
