I will pick up on questions by Deputy Whitmore and O'Sullivan and go beyond the issue of revenues and the change this proposal could bring and the issues of subsidiarity. I refer to moving road transport and buildings. You are probably talking about something like 30% of Ireland's overall emissions. I think transport is 40% of energy-related emissions into another system. Are we saying those sectors would be pulled outside of the effort-sharing system we have at the moment and does that effectively undermine the work that we have done to date, the Climate Act and the work that the Climate Change Advisory Council are doing, and the work to establish the sectoral emission ceilings? Am I correct in understanding that those two big parts would no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Climate Act?
