Can Mr. Blaney clarify something about which I asked him at the outset? He said it looks like we are on track to achieve the target of having 40% generated from wind. Can he confirm that this figure relates to our own domestic market? It does not relate to the export market. I know there is an interconnector between the two countries. I ask Mr. Blaney to clarify that. It has been said on a number of occasions that we are taking wind out just to send it. I know there was a different proposition in the midlands. That was not necessarily going to go into the grid. That is on the shelf, so to speak. Can Mr. Blaney talk about the Gate 3 offers? How can he define what was actually intended for the domestic market? Every offer is basically intended for the domestic market. Is that correct?
