Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

We used to meet compliance on a regional basis in tandem with the UK. We can no longer do so. Therefore, we are no longer compliant. In fairness, even in advance of the type of scenario my colleague outlined, whereby a key piece of infrastructure might be impacted by an event of some kind which was always a risk for Ireland inc., this has become more pronounced because the Corrib Gas source in recent years has started to decline and we are getting less and less from that source. We are relying more on that single piece of infrastructure effectively in Scotland. That is why it is becoming increasingly important to look at this from a strategic perspective.
