I can give an example of one hotel in respect of energy costs. In 2019, its energy cost was €120,000 and in 2022, it was €460,000. We do not have any breakdown of figures in the public sector as regards how much energy bills increased by.

Therefore, since it is about taxpayers' money, we now need to be far more proactive in dealing with this. I am not sure that we are.
