Those domestic areas have already been regulated for some time. Deputy Ó Murchú has been consistent in representing his constituents who, during the gas price spike, found themselves facing huge increases, so I am familiar with that. To answer Deputy O'Rourke's question, the options he mentioned, particularly the likes of heat pumps or other renewable sources to provide more predictable pricing and a secure solution, is one of the ways we need to go. We need to look at district heating in a variety of different guises to meet our heating needs, right down to the individual estate or apartment development. There is real efficiency when a heating source is shared. There will be much innovation and development in that area.
