I take the Deputy's points. This is something I can see the growing interest in. Deputy Nash's colleague, Deputy Lawlor, has approached me about it and indicated the interest that he and others have in it. I can see the role it could play. I can see how we are relatively underdeveloped versus the UK. I am aware of the other ownership structures that exist elsewhere within Europe. My officials and I have met in this regard. I am aware of the submissions that are there. As the Deputy has acknowledged, it needs a bit more work but we are happy to do that work and see if we can move this issue forward.
