This has been a very significant session. We have spent weeks and months talking about savings that might give us 50 tonnes there or a couple of hundred thousand tonnes there. Here we have 11 million tonnes that would provide the country with a gain of €800 million. I hate to say, however, that from what we heard from the Department, nothing is happening at any scale. That is of real concern to me.
