At this point, we must conclude the meeting. Consequently, I ask Mr. Slye to revert directly to Deputy McLellan with a response. I also ask him to revert to me on a question I asked about consulting people who obviously do not wish to engage or to give access to the land. I hope I have given everyone a fair chance to ask questions. I thank the witnesses for the presentation and their answers. Obviously, I imagine there is much for EirGrid to reflect on after today's meeting and I look forward to Mr. Slye's reflections in this regard at a later time. The message coming through clearly from the joint committee is that the consultation must improve, there must be independent analysis and many other issues must be addressed that have not been addressed heretofore. It is an ongoing process, I thank EirGrid for this presentation and I look forward to engaging with the witnesses in the future.
