I have just one final point. In domestic terms, the Bill places a significantly increased onus on the ISIF, other State bodies and, importantly, the Oireachtas to seek to achieve significantly higher levels of due diligence, transparency and accountability in the energy policy and investment decisions that will be taken in the coming years. These are decisions that will determine whether the battle relating to the Paris Agreement goals will be won or lost.
