In respect of the all-island electricity market, why are we annoying so many people in County Meath in order to bring electricity to Northern Ireland instead of developing power stations in that jurisdiction? In the context of all of the dislocation discussed in this committee, are power stations such as Coolkeeragh or Ballylumford ruled out for future development or is Northern Ireland incapable of generating the electricity it requires?
