Mr. Padraic O'Connell:

We are aware of the ongoing consultations with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, on fracking.

We are aware of the environmental, community and planning concerns. We are a network operator and are not involved in production. We are prohibited under Irish and EU law from being involved in the exploration, production or supply of gas but we are very conscious of it. We are trying to bring up our own expertise as we watch it.
