If businesses are to invest, they need certainty. Does the Bill provide sufficient certainty or is more required? Mr. D'Arcy referred to a vision, with which I agree. How would he state that vision? Would it require a target?

How would the delegates see such a target being best stated?

Some of the companies represented today operate in parts of the world where climate change legislation is already in place. In some cases, the jurisdictions in question have targets in excess of what Ireland has stated. How have the delegates' companies coped with that legislation? Has it been helpful or unhelpful in terms of investment and competitiveness? It would be very useful for us to have an understanding of the experience in other jurisdictions.
