The witnesses are all very welcome. I apologise but I had another thing in the Chamber so the witnesses should stop me if they think they have heard this one before. In the CCAC's recent report with the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council, it mentioned the up to €26 billion, possibly, in fines. I take it that the witnesses would probably accept that we will not meet the 2030 targets. Have they any idea how much the fines will be? Could they be even higher? Will they be lower? Will we have to pay any of these fines before 2030?
