Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Yes, and I expect that is an issue that will be dealt with pretty comprehensively. The Minister is being realistic in this instance about policy and the priority accorded to legislation. He has already made the point that we intend to meet the Kyoto targets signed up to. There are a number of policy issues and it is only right and proper that, in respect of these, there should be serious consultation with the sectors concerned. The Minister is prioritising this over the drafting of legislation which might not be appropriate.
