I thank Mr. Regan for his opening statement. I invite members to indicate to ask questions. I will go first. Mr. Regan mentioned that it is largely a technical Bill. Is it solely a technical Bill or is there anything in there looking at the functions, mandate and remit of Gas Networks Ireland? We need to look at that in the context of the climate challenge we have. Is the view being taken that "we just get this technical Bill out of the way" and we merge Ervia and Gas Networks Ireland and get that done? Are we looking to come back at some future point to look at the remit and mandate in regard to the climate challenge?
