Those are not specifically the riding instructions of the research project as I understand it but the broader context would have to be considered. If there is to be an interconnector between Ireland and France, part of the economics of that and part of the context for assessing the value of having such an interconnector would be the other interconnectors already there, so from that point of view it is relevant. This is a project of common interest, PCI, between us and France, funded under the connecting Europe facility, CEF. It is a discrete project in respect of an interconnector between Ireland and Frace. It is not bound up or entangled with any other interconnector.
