It is an endorsement. It is good to get that endorsement. I commend Sinn Féin. I am able to say that it is doing the right thing. I do not often say it but I welcome this policy. I also welcome that Sinn Féin has dropped its Tory-influenced energy price cap. It was a ridiculous idea that Sinn Féin jumped up to call for a couple of months ago while the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications took the route of negotiating at European level for marginal price capping. The latter would be more equitable.
