This is a comment on the politics of it all. The message we are putting across, particularly outside Ireland, is that Ireland is a real leader when it comes to climate measures and climate action, but the reality is very different. What level of risk is there? My fear is that we will get to the end point and say we were not doing such a good job after all. People are not aware that we are not meeting our targets or will not be able to meet our European targets and national targets and that there is still a significant deficit because the message we sell is that we are really good at this. Is that a risk?
