I generally ask for leeway because I am not always great at staying within the parameters, but I will make sure I do not actually ask the Minister a question about the Irish protocol at this stage.

The Minister spoke earlier about Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland schemes and the necessity of energy audits for companies. In making my point, I will give an example that is domestic but that relates to a company. I am referring to Carlinn Hall in Dundalk. It has what you could call a district heating system but I am told the correct term is "communal heating system". Formerly, there was a woodchip system but it was replaced with gas. There are inefficiencies and major issues. Gas was cheap but then it became incredibly dear.
