I did not respond earlier because I am not a member of this committee but I am taking this opportunity to join the debate because I have an interest in this. Deputy Bruton asked a lot of the questions I was going to ask on green bonds, which picks up on the earlier session. I am talking about the existing green bond offering that Ireland has and the possibility of opening that up more. Instead of a corporate green bond we could offer a personal green bond or a green bond at a smaller level that our citizens could avail of.

Our guests from the Department told Deputy Bruton that the existing green bond is not fully taxonomy compliant. Is that right?
