I think all of the questions have been covered adequately by most of my colleagues, but there is one point I would like the officials to address. They continually refer to testing. The renewables section of this business is moving fast. The landscape is continually changing. Is there a school of thought or argument in favour of taking the information now available locally, nationally and internationally and making a decision on that basis? Things are changing very fast. I do not think Dublin, Cork or anywhere else in Ireland is unique or very different from other cities in Europe. There is an argument that this costly process could slow the rate of progress as we move towards public transport run on renewables.
