I thank the Minister for his opening statement. I invite members to indicate if they wish to ask questions. We have a further hour and 45 minutes and must conclude by 3.30 p.m. Therefore, I ask members to be succinct in their questions and the Minister to be as brief as possible in his replies.

On the two big proposals, will the Minister provide timelines for the industrial emissions decarbonisation roadmap and the commercial buildings roadmap and perhaps more detail as to what these will entail? What are we likely to see in the climate action plan that will be published in the next week or two? Will there be new measures on top of last year's climate action plan? Last week, the Minister, Deputy Ryan, appeared before the committee and he indicated that it would not be so much about new measures but more about the implementation in his portfolio. I have the same question for the Minister, Deputy Coveney. Is it new measures or is it a case of doubling down on the existing measures, making them work and having them implemented?
