I have one further issue. How can the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications, who is the leader of the Green Party, support and protect a company that is in receipt of 100% of the levy while only having to reach a collection target of 70%? The Minister admitted that it did not even reach that target in an email dated 22 September 2020. It should be noted that these targets were set by the Government. Surely it is the Green Party's belief that they should be made to work. What are Mr. Fitzgerald's thoughts on that?
