My question is on a just transition fund for west Clare, for the imminent ceasing of coal-burning in Moneypoint power station. In budget 2020, there was a commitment to set up a just transition mitigation fund for the midlands as turf ceased to be burned for electricity generation. The Minister committed to set up a fund for Moneypoint. When does he expect to make that announcement? How much money will be in that fund? How will that money be spent to support the local community in west Clare when Moneypoint ceases to function?
