The Minister will appreciate that online sales have a great deal of potential in Border areas because of currency variations etc. There is a great opportunity for some Border traders to sell into the sterling area at certain times. That should be supported and encouraged. I am anxious to get the Minister's response to that. Does he believe there is an opportunity in Border region in particular to sell into the sterling areas - Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom generally? Does the Minister believe that online vouchers are working adequately? They do not seem to have captured the public imagination and there does not seem to be a high level of awareness of them. That may be my fault but I ask the Minister to elaborate on the online voucher scheme. I am interested to hear his response on that.

Will the Minister elaborate on the area of domestic energy efficiency improvements? How does he see-----
