In response to Deputy Conway-Walsh, I will commit to that. It is important that everyone does treat this situation as what it is, an emergency situation, the SEAI included. It is important for it to accelerate its communications with companies looking for advice or grants to make sure we act quickly. I agree with Deputy Cairns. It is not a functioning market. There are super-normal profits being made. The best way for us to target those is to work in conjunction with European colleagues because the more uniform and united our approach to this is, the more legally robust and effective it is in countering the Russian Government and what it is doing. We will do that. It will not be an easy process but we are committed to trying to redirect some of those excess profits to Irish consumers and Irish businesses.
