M question for Mr. O'Donoghue is in relation to the UK and Norwegian markets. Obviously, the UK is not in the European Union anymore. Does the European Union have any kind of relationship with the UK and Norway regarding these matters? Are there any co-operation agreements or understandings between the EU and the UK and Norway? Could Mr. O'Donoghue elaborate on the position of the UK energy market if he is up to speed on that? I appreciate that it is not totally his brief but Ireland is very reliant on the UK and Norway for gas supplies. How does he see that going forward? Is that supply threatened, particularly having regard to the politics in the UK at this time?

On Dr. Deane's comments, nobody mentioned data centres here this morning. Data centres are very much part of our economic model and part of our foreign direct investment strategy. How do they operate here and are they on board as far as energy saving or energy demand reduction is concerned? Is the construction and provision of more data centres in the future something that needs to be reviewed?
