On the price of electricity, does the Minister believe, on the basis of his exchanges with them, that providers are still intent on increasing prices? Are they still on that trajectory or will the Minister's intervention or that of the energy regulator provide some relief for customers? I am sure the latter would very much welcome an update on that.

Regarding the community infrastructure, Templederry is a very good example and we welcome the other projects that have been long held up as exemplars but the opportunity is there to scale up those projects and increase the level of penetration relating to them far more than is currently the case. What plans does the Minister have to tap into that potential? I know there is a good resource available to the Minister in his office.
