I will bring it back to COP28. Is there something there in respect of data centres and the international picture? I do not know. Is the challenge of data centres, from a climate point of view, being discussed at international level? We are talking about it nationally. It is a very important conversation but, surely, other countries are hosting a lot of data centres. Is that discussion happening at all? The other side of it is some countries are more attractive for data centre developers, as Ireland is for a few reasons, including our climate and where we are with respect to international data cables. We are in the EU but on the edge of it. With respect to COP28, is there serious international discussion about data and how it should be managed and regulated?
