Mr. Seán Finan:

I thank Deputy Aird. I can take the questions for the Bioenergy Association. The Deputy asked about regulatory barriers and support policy barriers. We need to see, as we have said, the mobilisation of the renewable heat obligation. That is the obligation on the fossil fuel suppliers to include a percentage of renewable gas in their fuel mix. What that does is set a market. It creates a market which then encourages the production and development of these facilities. It also sets a price for the offtakes. That is one thing that we need. The heads of the Bill have been published. We need to see them move to full legislation and that legislation enacted. That is a very important step.
