Additional Uses of Natural Gas: Gas Networks Ireland

Mr. Liam O'Sullivan:
In response to the Chairman's first question, the level of funding required, our focus to date has been on getting all the stakeholders to a point where we are all on the same page and that everybody is of a mind that this is, as the Chairman says, a no-brainer and that we need to proceed to implement it as quickly as possible. We have done a number of trials which in our view prove conclusively that this is of benefit to the fleet operators and to the overall economy.
In regard to the legislation, we have referred to the need to give the fleet operators an incentive to meet the additional cost to convert to gas.
