Mr. Mark Griffin:

I am going on the basis of what experts in the area and who are responsible for it, EirGrid and CRU, have said. At their recent appearance before the Oireachtas joint committee on 5 October 202, the CEO of EirGrid said that with the two plants coming back on, the completion of a substantial degree of maintenance works that had been deferred into this year due to Covid-19, and the work that EirGrid has done with the large energy users, he was confident that we would not have blackouts over the course of the coming winter.
