I am making an inference. This is not a criticism of IBEC. There is a potential conflict between our current economic growth model, which also includes the Food Harvest 2020 strategy, and the insertion of targets in the Bill. Does Mr. Walker see that as a conflict?
Last week, Dr. Brian Ó Gallachóir of UCC made a presentation to the committee on low carbon emissions. He had a particular view on the electrification of heat. IBEC refers to the increasing cost of electricity in its submission. What is the body's view of the electrification of heat between now and 2020?
