I note the way the figures change. In the Bill, we tie ourselves to anything that is negotiated in 2015 for 2030. We switch then, from a figure of emissions reduction from 2005 of 20% back to the 1990 figure. Dr. Ó Gallachóir stated it would jump, for us, as a 52% reduction. Those figures are correct. There would be a very steep curve going in tandem with these heads of the Bill.
