The Taoiseach will travel to Davos in Switzerland today to attend the annual World Economic Forum.

The war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis are among the topics being discussed by political and business leaders.

This is the first in-person World Economic Forum to take place since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It comes amid a backdrop of record inflation levels in many economies.

Discussions so far focused on how much wealthy people have profited in the last two years.

A new Oxfam report, released during the forum each year, claims a new billionaire was created every 30 hours during the pandemic.

The Taoiseach will hold a number of bilateral meetings with political leaders and senior executives of multinationals with links to Ireland.

He'll also attend a high-level panel debate tomorrow on the EU's response to the pandemic and war in Ukraine.
