The Deputy and I often disagree on various different policies but I think that is a fair concern, that this would be held up as a solution that can give a green card to the industry to keep doing what it is doing, because at some point we will just capture the emissions. That is why I think we need to make progress in understanding what is feasible and what is not, and on what can apply here in Ireland. I think the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is keen to do that, and so are we. There is a cross-party working group. Do we have a timeline for when it is likely to report back?
