We are waiting for the CRU to make an adjudication, which it will do shortly. We have published our guidance in respect of cement. I had a round-table meeting with the cement group and representatives of Enterprise Ireland to try to ensure that it will be ready when the rules relating to public procurement change shortly. The members of the group will have to be ready to ensure that they are using lower carbon cement. This will be critical. There is a lot more work to do on it. We want to support them in research and development efforts to change the processes relating to how they work and generate energy on site, which will be very important.
