Mr. Graham Doyle:

To date, just under €16 million has been paid out. It is €15.98 million. Across the years, between the lump sum, it was €2.7 million in 2020, it was approximately €5.5 million in 2021 and last year it was just under €2.8 million. The judgment essentially required the owner and operator of the wind farm, which is the ESB in this instance, to submit an application for a retrospective environmental impact assessment, EIA, known as a substitute consent, to An Bord Pleanála. It submitted that application. An Bord Pleanála eventually found against it and at that point it ceased operation of the wind farm. Our colleagues at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications have engaged with the Commission on this issue, seeking to close the fines that have been paid through our Department. Our understanding is that we are due to receive a decision on that. We are hopeful for a positive decision in terms of it being closed at that point. We expect to receive a decision, which is a matter for the Commission, within a matter of days.
