It would be helpful if Mr. Gannon could do so. I have a final question.

I see CCAC and CRU welcome the review and revision of the legal mandate of relevant State agencies. It speaks to the point about who is the responsible authority in Government and its agencies for saying there are contradictions in terms of the policy direction and that we have obligations in terms of climate while in enterprise we are pulling in exactly the opposite direction. Who are the agencies in question? Do they include the CRU, in terms of its mandates and responsibilities? Is it GNI? Senator Higgins brought legislation around Bord na Móna, Coillte and others. Is it just for Government to take that in broad terms?
