Joe McHugh (Donegal North East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a fair question. I am reasonably satisfied because I have met many people from the various groups that have made submissions on the White Paper. I am more than reasonably satisfied with some of the submissions that have been made. While the Government has a role to play in this, obviously the private sector will play a big role too. I am looking forward to the collation of all the submissions that have been made through the White Paper regarding the three pillars of heat, transport and energy. I think it is critical that we are serious about it. I am confident that the intricate relationship between the Government and the creative sector within business will provide the solutions. There are smart people with solutions out there and we have to respond to them.
