Mr. Paul O'Donoghue:

On the point on whether the tight timeline was problematic and added to costs, the fact that it was compressed allowed us to secure fixed price, lump sum contracts, which has been of great assistance in doing this in an efficient fashion, as well as in securing value. An existing utility such as Bord Gáis might implement this range of systems over 15 or 20 years; therefore, the cost that would be incurred would be spread over that lengthy period. Unfortunately, optically, all of these systems have come on board and come to fruition in 18 months; therefore, the spend is compressed. While it is an unfortunate optic, the fact that it was compressed allowed us to go to the market to look for an efficient way of procuring the systems.
