I thank Mr. Kenny. The Department of Finance was asked to consider the two options set out by the committee. One was to return revenue raised in grant payments and other carbon SEAI-type measures, which is what some colleagues here supported, and the other option was the carbon dividend model. The Department presented in the consultation process nine options. Why did it do that?
