To conclude on one brief point, EirGrid is not good at outreach, although it is apparently very good at spending millions of euro on advertising. My constituency is affected by one of its primary planned projects and its engagement has been very poor. Its advertising campaign has done the opposite of what the Department set out as the objective because it has antagonised people even more. I will return to that point.
