Sustainability Energy Authority of Ireland has a role in meeting what we have set out in retrofit; that will be key.

To Deputy Murnane O'Connor, we will deliver that bus service for Carlow.

To Deputy Alan Farrell, it is not just Shannon and Cork harbours although they will be the centres of development. The other area where the offshore wind will come ashore first is in Dublin. That will require significant investment in upgrade of the grid in Dublin which will not be without its challenges but it will also guarantee and secure the industries in the greater Dublin area to help pay for all the public services that we need.

Deputy Connolly was correct to voice frustration about the lack of progress in Galway over the years. I hope the Circular Economy Bill which has passed Second Stage and comes back to the Dáil on Committee Stage next month can be the answer to the anguish I heard her speak of around the need to develop recycling and the need to develop wool, seaweed and other such materials which will help us create a circular economy here. I believe that legislation is fully progressive and in line with the kind of recycling ambition and vision that she has. Let us bring it back to Committee Stage. Let us deliver the Bill and then the actions and promise that it brings.

To Deputy McNamara, those sectoral targets will not come back to the Dáil for a vote-----
