I would like to stress to the Minister that small businesses cannot do any more than small to medium damage, but what about these large corporations? Climate justice and the just transition has to be central to this. I would like if EPP party members would strengthen this. We are a very small country but, as part of the EU, we can make a bigger impact. I would like to see Ireland taking a stronger position on this. I would appreciate if the Minister could bring that message to MEPs. What happens affects Ireland but it also has a global effect. We are in the middle of an emigration crisis. We have to think big-picture stuff when we are looking at this climate Act. I will leave it at that.
