Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

We completely appreciate that. Although we cannot take it into consideration in our decision-making, we are aware of that context. It is open to Mayo Renewable Limited to come in with a new application. Through this process, we have tried to engage with it and provide it with as much information as we could so that it could understand why the previous application did not meet the criteria so that it might be in a position to put in an application that did. Having said that, it is very important to say that it must be a realistic application. It must be credible. Most importantly, if we give a certain level of certification, if we go back there after the 14 months, it must also be credible in terms of Mayo Renewable Limited being able to demonstrate what the heat used is so that we can renew the certification on the same basis. The worst case scenario would be for a higher certificate to be issued and a lower certificate to be issued based on the actual data from the plant so it must be credible, realistic and available to audit when we go back after a while. If it comes in with a new application, we will certainly look at it on its merits.
