I shall ask Mr. Moran the same questions. I ask him to come back to the committee by 30 November, in the same way that I have asked Mr. Watt, with an analysis of how we could introduce a cap and dividend scheme on the additional carbon tax that we raise. It should be assumed that we add another €20 in carbon tax under the current charging regime but return the revenue to the citizens in the way that Senator Grace O'Sullivan has set out. It is fine if Mr. Moran has to get the ESRI to assist him with the analysis. I ask him to supply a paper that will assist the committee in writing its paper on the implications, costs, opportunities and obstacles in that process.
