I thank Ms Gallagher for explaining that. We might come back to it later. Very briefly, the council has spoken about a fossil fuel phase-out by 2039 and this being an absolute imperative. Is the Government's decision to overturn its policy on the importation of fracked gas and the construction of new fossil fuel infrastructure by way of LNG terminals compatible with our imperative phase-out of fossils fuels by 2039? Has the council had any engagement with the Minister in relation to this change of policy and how it impacts on our carbon budgets?
