Ms Aoife MacEvilly:
If there is a valid business case and it holds true, then there is a clear justification for it and a lot of support is made available. We gave an example in the presentation of existing heat use by a milk drying facility. As long as the underlying business which requires the heat use remains in place, that justification should remain broadly as per the application. While that is not a guarantee it provides some certainty for the developer. There is no doubt that the planned plants are more complex.
