I thank the Minister for that comprehensive response. Much progress is being made. Has any research or thought been given to introducing combined heat and power plants in the various barracks and military installations across the country? I am told that significant efficiencies can be gained there, that they are 25% more efficient and the carbon footprint can be reduced. Would the Minister ask his officials in the Department and the Defence Forces to examine this and report to him and back to the House with any possibilities in this area?
