She knows more about aspects of this than I do. I have a hunch she is right in the particular point she raises but in any event, if one was to proceed as was suggested, in terms of converting Moneypoint to biomass, one would have a real problem. It is not as simple as is being put forward, so Senator Keane is quite right.
I did not answer Deputy Corcoran Kennedy's question. I expect to bring the Green Paper to Government within three weeks and if I do, it will be published immediately after that. On her question on the export project and the duration of time, if it looks like we will conclude an agreement, I will be very happy with the three months that came out of the London summit. If it looks like we will not conclude an agreement, I do not see any point waiting for three months. What happens in the negotiations now will determine that.
What was the Deputy's third question?
