On behalf of the committee, I thank Mr. Liam O'Sullivan, Mr. Padraic O'Connell, Mr. Denis O'Sullivan and Ms Edwina Nyhan for outlining the company's growth plans and the potential for using natural gas as a transport fuel. The proposals seem to provide a realistic alternative for a cleaner and cheaper fuel. If we keep getting positive proposals like that, we will all be in a better place.
The number of members present was fewer than usual as there are a number of competing interests in the Dáil, including transport questions, and the energy policy was being outlined in the Mansion House. The presentation this morning was very helpful and informative. We are very much informed about where we must go and the advocacy of policies we heard this morning.
