Mr. Garrett Blaney:

I might give my understanding of the Erne project briefly. Some distribution cables go across the Border in the west, but they are not sufficient to tie the two systems together. We cannot rely on them, although they allow for some power flows at a distribution level across the Border, typically in the west. The Erne is a relatively small project compared with the size of modern generators, for example, the new Great Island plant that opened last week and produces 430 MW. I cannot remember the exact capacity of the Erne project, but it is relatively small. The system and the economy have grown. If we want a modern economy, we must have an infrastructure that supports it.
