The first thing I have to do early next week is to attend the European Council which, as I said, is a policy area where we can change, inform and direct the market system and energy prices. I will also work with the Minister, Deputy Coveney, as well as the Minister for Social Protection, because they have a critical role in terms of any supports or other arrangements for any industry. It is something that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment has a key role in and we will be fully supportive and work in a whole-of-government way to make sure we do everything we can to get those jobs back and the mine back in operation.
