I accept that. It is important to understand. The point is well made and clear that this is something the witnesses feel can be advanced quite quickly while district heating is a slower option. I agree that it is important not to conflate them.

What the witnesses ask makes a lot of sense to me. It will be up to the Minister and the Department to dig into it and to look at how the witnesses can be supported more. If it is the case that this is a reasonably quick win, then it makes sense to explore it as much as possible. In that regard, I wonder about the challenges to the grid, in that probably for a lot of the witnesses' members, they have to upgrade transformers and electrical systems in their plant. There is a whole infrastructural piece there. Perhaps Mr. Coffey experienced that already in the project he had in Galway. I am interested to know more about that because it is very tantalising that this sector would be supported in order to get the 2 Mt or 3 Mt or whatever it was. Are we going to hit problems straight away with respect to the robustness of our grid?
