Mr. Watt correctly stated that we already know there is at least a 100 million tonne gap in what we need to do in the next decade or 12 years. The potential cost of not closing that gap is at least €3.2 billion. It could be between €6 billion and €10 billion, depending on the price of carbon. With regard to his responsibility to assess the options of how to close the gap, has Mr. Watt received from the other Department details of what those options might be?
