I will also say to Deputy Durkan that the 1980s seem a long time ago because they are a long time ago. I would not like to tell him when I was born.

When Professor Kinsella was responding to the previous Teachta, he hit on the concept of an industrial strategy. I thank him for his presentation as well. He mentioned some of the underlying structural issues that remain unresolved. One of those issues to which he alluded related to climate. The last time he was before this committee he also mentioned the need for a new industrial strategy. I read his recent article in The Currencywhich fleshed out one example in respect of wind energy. If he was to name three things that needed to be done as a starting point for such a green industrial strategy, what would they be?
