I am conscious that others wish to speak. I am nearly finished.

Deputy Carthy went into TAMS in some detail. I do not need the witnesses to go into this now, but perhaps they could email the committee bullet points about the changes they would want to see in this regard, particularly in respect of reform. I am sure they have already shared that with the Department. I would be keen to see that. There is no need to go into it now, but if they could share that with the committee, it would be helpful to all of us.

I will make a point about accessing the network, which we have discussed, and direct line. As a case in point, I know of a large company involved in agrifeed that wants to do its own solar farm and wants the power, which is a significant player in agrifeeds. As to where the witnesses are at, and they have laid out the roadmap and where we want to get to, how realistic is that, and what would the timeframe be? I know there is some legislation in this regard, but what do we need to happen to get that direct line?
