Mr. Caoimhín Ó Ciaruáin:

Once the regulation and level of targets are agreed, each member state will be required to develop a national policy framework for delivering on that infrastructure and to report to the Commission on how they are delivering it. That will be the requirement once the thing is settled. From 2025 or 2026 onwards, we are looking at a reporting regime. The Commission will look at the report, say whether those requirements are being met or not and a member state will then be asked to put in corrective actions. It is a comply or explain approach to delivery of the targets. In the round, Ireland is probably in a good place but there are certain aspects of the AFIR regulation that present costs. By the time we are in a position to report on them, infrastructure costs should be more palatable, the business case will be better and we should be in a position to deliver on those targets. That is the trajectory.
