We have to accept democracy and that there has to be some level of accountability. That would be a fundamental concern. I refer to the just transition commissioner and some of the concerns. Leaving aside the industrial relations matter, which is, as has been mentioned, part of another structure, are the witnesses confident that having Mr. Mulvey co-ordinate this overarching strategic vision for this just transition, which is in this early phase, will deal with that and with every facet to ensure we protect not only the Bord na Móna and ESB workers, but future workers? Are the witnesses confident that the just transition will fulfil its remit?
