We are looking at that. To be honest, people did not expect Tarbert and Moneypoint - the third station this applies to is, if I recall, Aghada, which is an oil-fired generation unit in the ESB plant in Aghada in Cork - to be still running. They are running but within a relatively short period, we see the likes of Moneypoint switching away from coal, perhaps to fuel oil initially. One of the three units runs on fuel oil already but we need to switch away from those heavy carbon fossil fuel plants.

We are running them at present because our situation is tight. However, I do not believe there are any other plants, none that I can think of immediately, which would be accessible. We have everything on the bars at the moment.
