The Department would certainly be happy to sit down and discuss these matters. The background of ISIF is good. I am slightly concerned that terms like "dangerous industry" and "dirty fuels" were used in the Deputy's absence. ISIF has a good track record in the level of investment. It is divesting in the areas that have their head in the sand when it comes to progressing to a low carbon strategy. ISIF is taking these measures anyway.
