Before we move on, can I go back to the question asked by Deputy Ellis, regarding children with autism. Should I interpret what has been said as that EirGrid will take that into special consideration when the lines are being decided? Is EirGrid saying that if there is engagement from a family of a child with autism, it will give special consideration to that in its planning application? In other words, will the pylon be placed farther away or removed due to that?
