There are discussions taking place in Brussels today and it seems the EU is making it clear within the Brexit negotiations that consistent application of energy, climate and environmental rules, in particular in relation to the all-island electricity market, will be a sine qua nonof any backstop arrangement or regulatory alignment in a review. Does EirGrid see that creating any obstacles? Is there any sense in its work with SONI or in the all-island electricity market that this is now threatened? Is it stopping progress in EirGrid's work? Is there anything the committee should be aware of?
