It might not be personally attractive to everyone, if Mr. Owens gets where I am going. People who are very well-off might have retrofitted their houses and might be driving electric vehicles. They might have a few bob in the bank.

Could we find a way of putting that money to work from a nature and biodiversity perspective where investment is so needed? That is where the value of a green bond might lie. I am asking for Mr. Owens for his view on this based on his experience, which is far in excess of mine. Would that be a viable product within the Irish market?
