Darren O'Rourke: I thank the Minister for his opening statement. I want to ask about the policy relating to data centres. I have listened to the exchanges so far. I presume that the Government has a plan for the sustainable development of data centres. I have a couple of questions on this. What is the policy on direct gas supplies for data centres? In view of the time constraints, perhaps the Minister...

Darren O'Rourke: I know we are tight for time but I want to touch on the issue of concrete and I have listened to the Minister's comments on it so far. I hear a lot from the sector that there are new obligations and new levies but that the developed infrastructure is not there to support them to recycle or reuse construction materials. Does the Minister recognise this as a problem and a challenge and what...

Pat Buckley: This is going on a long time. It was 1992 or something when this started. I will take up to 2011, I think. The document here has 41 pages. I see the work that has gone into this.

I am reading from p.11: When we met the top two officials from...
