With regard to energy policy, I urge the Minister to challenge the question of fracking to ensure we maintain our position, and to have an open mind and to look again at the Corrib gas project and how we should approach that in a different way. This is a huge and important issue and has perhaps been a blind spot in the past.

With regard to divestment, on which I was very happy to support the fossil fuel divestment movement in University College Galway, we have seen in institutions right across the State the push for divestment. Will the Minister consider amending the National Treasury Management Agency Act during the upcoming review of the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund to ensure we are environmentally considerate in this regard?
