Mr. Michael D'Arcy:

I thank Ms Hanna. It is good to see her again. To drill down into the energy issue, I emphasise that we are hoping that perhaps the most important contribution we can make is to prompt discussion of the joined-up picture in the first instance. It is not just about what we and the committee are doing but rather that people will actually come together, sit down and have a plan. As I said, most of this investment is coming from the private sector. The Government will be looking to the private sector to implement the changes and transformation that will deliver the targets that have been put in place, and will keep the flow of energy that is needed to keep the country's houses and households running. That is not there. That is the first thing. Fundamentally, the immediacy is that when we publish our paper and put it out there soon, there should be real, joined-up engagement by officials, in the first instance, in the absence of an Executive. Subsequently, it is to be hoped, when there is a restoration, a lot of the groundwork may already have been done. That should not just be short term but should have that longer term vision, not just to 2030 but right out to 2040. It gives space for new thinking, when people do not just presume the absence of immediate governance holds back thinking about what we will do into the future.

The second issue is to broaden the picture a little. I appreciate this is not just an island of Ireland issue. It is a these-islands and EU issue and whether there is connectivity between GB and the island of Ireland and connectivity between GB and the Continent, because we now know our gas originally comes from Norway. That brings us into the Windsor Framework context and the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, TCA, context because energy is under the TCA. All these discussions on energy are happening under the TCA, but discussion on energy is not allowed for under the Windsor Framework. Energy is one of the areas of North-South co-operation mentioned in Article 11. Who will initiate that conversation? It is there to be done but is not happening. How will it be initiated? That is something that is very important on the energy bit.

What was the second part of Ms Hanna's question?
