I am interested in this issue in principle. We need to get pre-legislative scrutiny on the detail of the legislation, but there is also the bigger issue of looking after the planet. Should the State, through its money, provide lower, cheaper loans to the person who delivers coal house-to-house rather than ruling them out from getting those cheaper loans, so that they have to go through the normal avenues of high street lending from, for example, AIB or Bank of Ireland or any other options there? In Mr. Bristow's view, should we provide those types of cheap loans given that we are trying to steer the country and the globe in a different direction?
