I thank all our guests for this very important discussion. I have a range of questions that I want to work through in as timely a manner as I can. I hope to give everybody an opportunity to speak if possible. I just want to start - and this was very much a feature of the last presentation - by asking our guests if there are any gaps in terms of the net-zero technologies that are covered by this legislation. If so, would they elaborate on these gaps and on what renewable solutions are not included? As I said, I note the opening statement by the Irish Bioenergy Association, which lists solid bioenergy and liquid bioenergy as gaps. Indeed, a couple more have been mentioned. Let us kick off with that.
