I disagree that there has been paltry growth across the sector. In fairness, the Deputy has acknowledged that, on the electricity side, significant progress has been made. I accept that a lot more can be done with regard to both transport and heat. Transport falls within the competency of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Shane Ross, and heat falls within my remit. I hope to be in a position later this month to circulate for the final phase of public consultation the proposal regarding the renewable heat incentive scheme. Our objective is to try, in so far as is humanly possible, to reach the renewable heat target of 12% by 2020. We are determined to push that along.
