I want to move to another topic. Ireland failed to apply for European funding on securing energy continuity. It looked like there was three days’ notice to make an application. Why did we not apply for REPowerEU for biomethane, for example, which from the point of view of the agriculture sector would be a natural asset? Have we applied for any other funding under this programme in regard to biomass, solar or wind? It seems extraordinary that there are only two countries that did not apply and we are one of them.
