I have a few questions of my own. If members have follow-up questions, I ask them to raise a hand.

Deputy Mairéad Farrell raised the issue of climate and covered most of it. I take the point that it is very difficult to forecast this. As a follow-up on that issue, notwithstanding any difficulty and snarkiness that might occur, who is best placed to undertake that kind of costing? I presume it would be quite a long-term costing. Certainly we are talking about the timeline up to 2050, if not beyond. Who do our guests consider would be best placed to make those kinds of forecasts?
