Just to prove the point, 30% of our energy is produced in Cork. That industry accounts for a fifth of the local authority's rate base. It is a significant driver in the economy. The rate payer issue is very important. My issue is on the compliance element. Mr. Manley just touched on it. If there was a difference in regimes in two parts of this island with one energy network, how could it be ensured that compliance is appropriate?
