Mr. David McGarry:

It is, yes. It is on the agenda of the board of Shannon Foynes Port Company.

Through the CEO, as we communicate with the various State agencies - EirGrid and the ESB - we are trying to make clear that we need a grid infrastructure development plan. We need to think strategically when planning for this. We do not need several grids or cables that are badly thought through, put in the wrong place or deal with one customer. This has to be carefully planned so that many can use that cable grid to which the Deputy referred. The State has a key role to play in this sort of base infrastructure. It is another enabler the State has to look at investing in and developing with EirGrid, and the wind farm developers can then feed into it. This is a crucial piece of infrastructure, which needs to be brought together.
