Mr. Mike Devane:

I will make a quick point on greenways if you do not mind, Chairman. I do not have a problem with greenways in any shape or form, but I would make the point that north of the Dublin-to-Galway line we do not have sufficient grid capacity. If we had the companies in the morning ready to set up in Ballina, Letterkenny or wherever, we could not handle it. Our recommendation has been that the railway system itself can be also used to service utility distribution, particularly with power. Ultimately railways will use electricity in the majority of cases. When we look at the all-island review, there is an opportunity for us to decide to use this public land to run the utilities and in particular to distribute power on a DC basis under the railways and bring it up into the grid where it is needed. My point is that other utilities could use the rail networks and that also needs to be considered from the railway viewpoint.
