Mr. Denis O'Sullivan:

At present that is not the case but there is potential for that down the line. The volume of gas in these areas is the critical factor and many of them do not have the critical volume of gas. With regard to compressed natural gas, CNG, as my colleague, Mr. Liam O'Sullivan, has said, Gas Networks Ireland will roll out off-grid stations as part of the plan. However, rolling out off-grid stations is a key factor in potentially getting to a critical volume which would allow for network extensions. We would not see these remote stations as being necessarily a permanent solution. They are more a short-term solution until the network is extended into those areas. In creating the volume through CNG stations, it could expedite getting the network extended into those areas.
