Ms MacEvilly is not referring to drier efficiency. She is stating that it goes back to what is being fed into the CHP plant. Going back to the 2012 certification, the plant had been almost half built. Approximately €100 million had been spent and, on foot of a financial hiccup, the company involved went into liquidation. I assume that the witnesses are aware that the EPA, ESB Networks, EirGrid and Mayo County Council, which extended the planning, treated this as renewable. In some way, has the commission not set a precedent in respect of this? The commission had granted a certificate of high efficiency which would allow the operator to obtain 100% of the feed-in tariff. The commission is stating that the proposition is not the same as before and has materially changed. Is that correct?
