I extend my condolences to the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and that of my party on the passing of his mother, Caitlin Donohoe. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his extended family at this difficult time for him.

I welcome the Minister of State to take oral questions this morning. The first question is to ask the categories of energy for which the Minister sought flexibility in regard to the VAT in his written correspondence with Commissioner Gentiloni on 10 March 2022 and any subsequent correspondence in communication with the European Commission, and if he sought specifically a special derogation or flexibility on VAT applied to home heating oil.
