I wish the Chairman well in his new role. I thank Mr. Murphy for his presentation. It is a very interesting area and I look forward to getting into the court's reports. There is a great deal there, I expect, that will be useful for us and potentially beneficial from the Irish perspective in terms of what we can learn from others.

To take a similar line of inquiry to Deputy Bruton, on the understanding we are in an area of uncertainty with emerging technologies and so on, one of the earlier slides related to the EU budget for climate action funding and the court's assessment that it has been significantly overestimated. Mr. Murphy made a point about the green credentials of some of the investment. In one case, it was claimed to be 100% but he said it was 0%. Will he talk us through that process?

Related is the issue of certification, which is in the realms of greenwashing. We are familiar with debates that have occurred at a European level regarding the taxonomy of fuels and so on but also advertising, greenwashing and the certification of biofuels. These are new processes, systems and technologies. Will Mr. Murphy talk us through the court's approach in that regard and what he thinks the headline recommendations from some of its reports are for how we can get a better handle on what is green?
