I refer to those for export. The Minister had specific guidelines for projects for export as against guidelines for projects for our own use on the national grid. Where stand those guidelines in the event of that group confirming, as the Minister has done in recent months, but categorically, that there will be no such development to meet the targets of sale to the United Kingdom and the Continent. Could the Minister clarify merely to confirm that the summit between the Taoiseach and the UK Prime Minister agreed a process, agreed that such process would be three months in duration, and agreed that the findings further to that process would be definitive and that the public would know where it stands on in the short to medium-term development of any such projects for sale?
