I welcome Professor McMullin and thank him. I have a couple of quite specific questions and it will probably inform our conversation later with the CRU and EirGrid. One of those would be what kind of capacity are the LNG terminals in the UK at at present? We are quite clear. I believe the Minister is quite clear on seeking and having an end now to LNG and it is important to look at what the international situation is. Second, what kind of energy loss is there as we send energy from one side of the country to the other because the fact that we have large users around the capital and fewer on the west coast has been identified as an issue for us? Third, in relation to EirGrid and the supply of power to new industry or new service providers, my understanding is that they would alert EirGrid and EirGrid would make an offer with terms and conditions attached. What would Professor McMullin like to see in those terms and conditions when new services or, indeed, industry are seeking that connection from EirGrid?
