We all know the way forward. It is the present we have to deal with. People are struggling. The Minister said I asked too many questions. I will with one and specialise on it. I have said clearly that coal is getting scarce, as is well known. It will cost €50 for a 40 kg bag. People around the country will not be able to afford it. Will the Minister clarify something for me? There are 11 different types of bog ownership, as I mentioned in a motion. Will those people be able to cut for their own houses? Will they be able to give or sell people turf? Will the Minister clarify that? Will he explain where we are in respect of the draft regulations? Are we going to see them after the holidays? When will we see those drafts?
