I do not know if I had my statements correct during the debate in the Dáil when I said that there was a 450 MW additional electricity generation and that there had also previously been emergency generation of approximately 200 MW from the CRU, that had been procured. Is that correct? What was the cost of that? If this 450 MW will cost approximately €350 million, how much did the 200 MW cost? Exactly how much will that add on to people's bills? How much did the 200 MW add on to people's bills? How much will the 450 MW add on to people's bills? We can have these discussions here about megawatts and emergency generation and peat generation, but what people want to know is how much additionally, it will cost them.
