I understand that the other amendments in this group are not being moved. Is that correct? It is just amendment No. 27 in the name of Deputy Pearse Doherty. While I acknowledge that carbon tax has an impact on the price of certain products, it is important to point to hypothecation. On budget day, the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform set out a comprehensive paper highlighting, for example, how €788 million is allocated for climate action measures in the budget. This is revenue we need for agri-environmental measures, retrofitting and in terms of fuel poverty. I am not in a position to accept the amendment.
