In accordance with Section 14(2) of SI No. 437 of 2004, the European Communities (Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading) Regulations, operators of installations of this kind are obliged to report their emissions on an annual basis to the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, the charges incurred by these installations are a commercial matter for the companies concerned. Accordingly, I have no function in the matters raised in this question.
