I thank the Minister for his reply. It is good to hear his response. I look forward to the White Paper. If the Minister can see his way to giving me a sneak preview of it tonight, I might be able to make a better contribution tomorrow at the official opening.

My final question concerns the role of educational establishments and universities. Has the Minister thought about talking to the educational establishments? This will be a continuing challenge for the next ten, 20, 30 or 40 years and Ireland needs people who are trained to maximise the benefits of renewable energy generation. Will the Government and semi-State agencies talk to the universities to make sure the education sector will meet the challenges of tomorrow?
