I thank Mr. O’Shea and all the witnesses.

How does the Commission for Energy Regulation, CER, believe the withdrawal of the UK from the EU would impact on the integrated single electricity market? Mr. Blaney mentioned it in his presentation but he does not seem overly concerned about it. Could he expand on that?

I am particularly interested in the concept of energy-active citizens. Can Mr. Gannon of the SEAI explain whether the objective is to give the citizen the possibility of choosing and what are the challenges to progressing and developing this idea?

Could EirGrid provide more information on the status of the Celtic interconnector, its timelines and the estimated cost?
