I am aware of factories in towns where there are gas pipelines and in other towns where it has to be delivered by lorries. I am aware of one company with two factories in Ireland, one of which has it piped to it, while the other has to have it delivered. The difference in cost in running those two factories is €140,000. That is a disadvantage when one is trying to create jobs in areas that do not have these facilities.
