Okay. I thank the Tánaiste. He is kind of telling us that it is under review until February and we will take it from there, I hope.
I move to the welcome measure that is the temporary business energy support scheme. It is needed by all businesses. The Tánaiste has spoken of the requirement for it to receive EU clearance due to state aid rules, and the legislation obviously needs to be passed through both Houses. Will he advise what the timetable and the schedule looks like to ensure the first payments will be issued to businesses as soon as possible?
