No, there is absolutely no hesitancy at all. The mitigation plan was approved by the Cabinet today. We had a very good and constructive discussion at Cabinet today on it. Some fine-tuning of the document needs to be done and the plan will be published soon after that. Two of my colleagues came to me after the Cabinet meeting looking for copies of the plan. We will publish it as soon as it is available. The plan has gone for translation into the Irish language and I am anxious to have it published as quickly as possible, but in advance of the Cabinet meeting to discuss the issue so that my colleagues have further time to consider it.

We intend to come forward with proposals quite soon on the renewable heat incentive scheme. We will also come forward with proposals on a renewable electricity support scheme, which will make progress on the former. Significant progress continues to be made in agriculture, transport and housing and planning. They are issues with which all Ministers are engaged and that will continue to be the case.
