I want to pursue another associated line. The officials have identified climate change as a risk to the economy. When Mr. McCarthy was before the committee previously he told us that by 2021 we could face fines of in the region of €600 million annually. The Government recently indicated that the fines would be in the region of €150 million. Will Mr. McCarthy explain the difference between the figure he gave us and the figure cited by the Government?
