Do the witnesses have a comment on the transmission system and the distribution system? Are they in their scope of interest or influence? Do they have a comment on the work done by EirGrid and ESB Networks in the distribution system? Can the witnesses tell us what is required of these organisations? Are they in frequent contact with them? Do they need to be pushed? It is our role as a committee to bring the thoughts and expertise of the witnesses to these organisations. I acknowledge the world-class work both organisations do in this area and I really believe they are the unsung heroes of climate action. I certainly would like to hear the views of the witnesses on the role of these organisations, if they can comment.
