I have just a couple of questions for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Is the Department engaging with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in addressing the ability of ESB Networks to connect larger businesses to the grid? I refer to getting the company's solar operations up and running. I have been made aware of significant delays which are costing businesses large amounts of money every day. If businesses are willing to use these technologies and they are big consumers, should there not be pathways for them to continue to do so in a more timely manner?
