On LNG, I do not know of any serious investigation of that subject that RTÉ has done. LNG is not suitable for medium- or long-term storage of energy, and that has never come through RTÉ's coverage. It has always been about the political divide or who wants it and who does not want it. If experts are asked, they will say it does not make sense for Ireland, but that is not coming through. We get a divisive public debate on it because the public service broadcaster is not doing its due diligence on the subject, and that is only one important subject.

We have approximately 20 minutes left so I will open up to a second round.
